Devotee in the Philippines nailed to cross

A Filipino devotee has been nailed to the cross for the 30th time in an Easter ritual — and offered his sacrifice for peace in Belgium and other countries targeted by Islamic extremists.

Ruben Enaje and several other men screamed in pain as they were nailed to wooden crosses in Pampanga province north of Manila in a reenactment of Jesus Christ’s death.

Thousands of tourists gathered to watch the ritual.
