A penitents feet are nailed to a wooden cross on Good Friday in the town of San Juan in
A penitents feet are nailed to a wooden cross as part of a voluntary ritual to mark the death of Jesus Christ on Good Friday in the town of San Juan in Pampanga province, north of Manila April 2, 2010. More than a dozen Filipinos were nailed to crosses and others whipped their backs until they were bloody in a re-enactment of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Good Friday. The Catholic Church disapproves of the annual ritual of devotion but says it cannot stop people in Asias largest Roman Catholic country from being voluntarily nailed to a cross or flagellating themselves, only educate them that it isn t necessary.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and thought-provoking image captured by Cheryl Ravelo, we witness a deeply religious ritual taking place in the town of San Juan, Pampanga province, Philippines. On Good Friday, a penitent's feet are nailed to a wooden cross as part of a voluntary re-enactment of Jesus Christ's crucifixion. The photo showcases the intense devotion and faith exhibited by these Filipino worshippers who willingly subject themselves to physical pain and suffering. The low angle view emphasizes the vulnerability and sacrifice involved in this act of piety. With close-up detail, we can almost feel the intensity of their prayers and experience their unyielding dedication. While the Catholic Church disapproves of such extreme practices, it acknowledges its inability to prevent individuals from engaging in them. Instead, they focus on educating people about alternative ways to express their faith without resorting to self-harm. This photograph captures not only the external display but also delves into deeper themes like spirituality, tradition, and cultural identity. It confronts viewers with questions about the nature of belief and what drives individuals to undergo such rituals. Cheryl Ravelo's creative use of lighting adds an air of mystery while highlighting every minute detail – from barefootedness to bloodied wounds – creating an ominous atmosphere that draws us further into this solemn moment. Ultimately, this image serves as a reminder that religion is multifaceted; it encompasses both beauty and pain as people seek solace through acts that may seem incomprehensible or extreme to outsiders.
