Can a person climb the same kind of cross on his own, as was offered to Jesus Christ? Such punishment in today’s society and law is considered inhuman. In this way, even a cruel criminal is not even given death penalty. But a 64 -year -old Ruben NJ hangs himself on the cross of jaggery every year on the cross in the same way that Jesus was hanged by Christ. All this happens for some time in the village of Philippines. He says that once he was survived by dying, after which he does so for God and people.
Roman soldiers offered
On the occasion of Good Friday, NJ was put on a wooden cross in front of a huge crowd in San Pedro Cutud village in the Philippines. And all this happened at the will of NJ. Not only this, the Roman soldier was also in disguise. He stuck a two -inch nail in NJ’s hands and tied them on the cross with a rope and raised the cross.
NJ continued tradition even after increasing age
The NJ was tied only on the waist just like Jesus Christ and was crowned with twigs of thorns on the head and crowds of villages were also present. Due to increasing age, NJs were hesitant to do it, but they could not reject the request of the family of sick people of the village.

Dozens of people participated in this incident like a ceremony who wore a black shroud and who came here from the narrow streets. During this time, he was also whipping himself and blood was also flowing from his body. The villagers have been doing this like a tradition for years. Such traditions were played Mexico and San Fernando, where poor people used to take such religious pranks.
