Good Friday, April 3, 2105
Paombong, Bulacan province, is known in the Philippines as the site of one of the bloodiest Senakulo, or public re-enactments of the Passion during Holy Week, particularly on Good Friday.
At Kapitangan, male penitents flail themselves bloody, and volunteer penitents are crucified (though not to the point of death) on a cross. Some men who have themselves nailed to a cross are penitents fulfilling a panata — a vow — in atonement for their sins, or do so as a sacrificial act of thanksgiving for favors granted. Others claim that God called them to this mission, so that they would be given the divine power of healing in return. They come here because the Santo Kristo is locally considered as the patron saint of healers.
