Filipino Catholics Celebrate Holy Week

MANILA, PHILIPPINES - APRIL 17: A teenage devotee is pulled and whipped by his peers as a form of penance during holy week on April 17, 2014 in Pampanga, Philippines. The brutal practice is a form of reenactment of Christ's suffering before being nailed to the cross. Although the act of self mortification is condemned by the Catholic church and frowned upon in the modern age, thousands of Filipino faithfuls still practice it to this day as a form of popular piety and has become a part of Philippine tradition in Asia's largest predominantly Roman Catholic nation.
