It goes on in the Phillippines. Like every year some christians crucify themselves. It’s like a whole ritual and I think they do more than just crucifications.
I heard from a friend who watched a documentary where a man was telling that years ago his daughter was very ill and he sort of made a promise that if she’d be ok then we would crucify himself every year.
His daughter became ok and EVERY YEAR he crucifies himself. ouch Imagine when the wounds heal, it’s time to get crucified again.

I guess it’s all about faith. Although some Christians disagree with this practice.
