PHILIPPINES: CRUCIFIXION IN A RICE PADDY

Every year they crucify several volunteers at San Fernando, La Union. They march to the site beating their own backs with glass-chip laced whips until they are bloody pulps.

The misguided sacrificer is taken down before death.

This photo is blurred because I was falling as I shot it. When they hoisted the cross up the surging crowd knocked me down.
