A Christian in the Philippines has been nailed to a cross for the 35th time to mark Good Friday and pray for world peace as faithful around the world observe the Holy Week of Easter to commemorate their belief in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

More than 100 people turned out to see Ruben Enaje, a 63-year-old carpenter and sign painter, and ten devotees be nailed to wooden crosses - real-life reenactments that have become an annual spectacle drawing tourists to rural communities in Pampanga province, north of Manila.

The gory ritual resumed only last year after a three-year pause due to the coronavirus pandemic, and has turned Enaje into a local celebrity for his recurring role as 'Christ' in the Lenten reenactment of the Way of the Cross.

Enaje said that he has considered stepping back from the role due to his age, but added that he could not turn down requests from villager for him to pray for sick relatives and 'all other kinds of maladies'.

Ahead of today's appearance, Enaje said he would devote to pray for peace in Ukraine, Gaza and the disputed South China Sea, saying the need for prayers has deepened in an alarming period of conflict worldwide.

Enaje remained nailed up for more than 10 minutes as storm clouds gathered overhead. It began to rain as he was carried on a stretcher to a medical tent where his wounds were bandaged.

'I feel no pain in my hands but my body as a whole feels sore,' Enaje said.

'The Passion Play was longer this year because we lengthened the script. Maybe that was why my body feels sore.'

Enaje said this year might be his last appearance as Jesus.

World Peace. It doesn’t seem to be working

[Ciaphas Cain]

One Man was already crucified so that we might have peace. That should be enough.

(World Peace)

There will NOT be World Peace anytime soon, I'm very sorry to say.

Any "World Peace" you will see will be a deception of Satan via his Antichrist and False Prophet.

This is going to be a shocking surprise for the 🌎🌍🌏 world.

The man who confirms the 7-year Covenant of 'Peace and Security' (Daniel 9:27) will be the Antichrist. The "instead-of" or "counterfeit messiah" prophesied in Revelation chapter 13 and 2nd Thessalonians 2:8-12 (and elsewhere in the Bible).





There will ONLY be world 🌎🌍🌏 peace after Armageddon and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ Himself to Earth. It's a hard truth but there it is.

Why call him a Christian? There’s nothing Christian about his stunt.

It didn’t work the first time either.

I imagine the turnout has been doubled in recent years because of Mel Gibson’s movie, “The Passion of The Christ”.

A very un-taught “Christian”.

I see that the good ‘ol Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are at it again. They really get off on mocking the Lord and profaning pretty much any all standards of decency - secular or religious. These are some seriously misguided and disturbed individuals.

[montanajoe]

They do this every year in the Philippines on Good Friday...this guy probably got more attention than most, but all of these folks deeply believe and there are more than few people doing it..

[SaveFerris]

It's all fun and games to the reprobates.

They're simply mocking and scoffing. /Captain Obvious

There is no fear of God in their eyes.
