Some people take Easter very seriously

I sometimes wish that our Church had more Easter festivities than the usual block meetings, but some people take Easter way too seriously.

This Holy Week, the thousands of guilt stricken or pious worshippers who will flay the skin off their backs, and the handful who will crucify themselves, are encouraged to get a tetanus shot first and be sure to use a clean whip or nails.

Phiilipino health and Catholic authorities disapprove, but that doesn’t stop the government from handing our sterilized nails and inspecting the sites. Plus, it’s sponsored by Coca-Cola. [WARNING: Article has non-bloody but detailed photos of crucifixions]
