Well now you've seen it.  My Uncle's been in the Philippines during Holy Week.  He said even though he is a Catholic priest he found it very unsettling.  I just found it to be a bit weird that people willingly have themselves nailed to a cross but worry about tetanus.

Very true.  I don't think you'd see that kind of devotion in the U.S.  Muslims have a religious feast where they scourge themselves.  I guess it goes to prove the world isn't as Secular as some people think.
