Penitents perform self-flagellation as they walk through the streets as part of the reenactment of the crucifixion during Good Friday in the village of Cutud, San Fernando City, north of Manila on April 6, 2012. Roman Catholic fanatics in the Philippines had themselves nailed to the cross April 6, in a bloody display of religious frenzy as the Christian world marked the day Jesus was crucified.
