Do something different this Easter

"The grisly voluntary crucifixions were carried out throughout the day as thousands of spectators looked on, and as other penitents engaged in self-flagellation with whips until the blood flowed.

Dozens of penitents, imitating Christ’s suffering, dragged heavy wooden crosses, often with hands and knees bloodied, in cities and towns across the country.

Others, dressed as Roman centurions, help enact the voluntary crucifixions, which last a few minutes. Nails penetrate both hands and both feet, but do not bear the weight of the penitents. After a few minutes on the cross they are taken down and their wounds are treated."
