Would you carry the cross to the crucifixion?

TODAY is Good Friday and some Roman Catholics in the Philippines mark the day by re-enacting the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.   Real nails are driven through their hands and feet. They are whipped until blood starts oozing out and allow themselves to be crucified. The decades-old practice takes place predominantly in Pampanga province to remember Jesus Christ’s suffering and death. Back home we set out to find out if there are some Rwandans willing to die for mankind and re-enact the suffering and death of Jesus.  Society Magazine’s Dean Karemera talked to a cross-section of people on whether they would offer themselves to be crucified like Jesus to save mankind.
