You've obviously not heard of the 'Passion Play'. This is performed every year I guess.

Quite the contrary. I have heard of the Passion Play and of the various levels on which it is performed. My comment on the contradiction was based on the celebration of "a manifestation of valour, beauty, youthfulness, vitality, masculinity and happiness" by sticking hooks in one's back.
The passion play is at least a recognition of the suffering of Christ and an imitation of that suffering as a means of walking in His path.
I'm not sure if Lord Maruga is said to have suffered in such a way, but if anyone can enlighten me, I will gladly withdraw my "contradiction" statement.
