The Devotee Flogs Himself In The Name of Christ
A man continues to beat himself to a bloody mess. With a wooden hand device which has nails and glass, Should his blood clots from the cold night air, a support person will add wine on his marks to help continue the bleeding from the open cuts. This is considered a great honor. Acting out God.s passion play can be painful, is look at as symbolic devotion. Mary was finger painted by an unknown artist. IN time, she will fade away.

Great series of documenation. Would be good to show more such pics to the Western world to document that fanaticism is not an exclusive claim by some Mideast groups of people.Berthold Klammer 28/03/2016 12:11
Excellent docu series of the deep religious understanding of some Christians in the world. In a photo like here the impression may be quite a lot intensive as the live experience.Even though - wish you a Happy Easter, Glenn
