WARNING! Very Graphic Content: The crucifixions

***Some pictures in this gallery are likely to offend those sensitive to images of pain and blood.***

I used to laugh at those old movie scenes where a blood thirsty mob would gather outside the town hall, draped in those heshen sacks that used to pass for robes back then, waiting for a criminal to be sentenced, and then yell out, “Crucify him!” once the verdict was finally handed down. The crime was inconsequential; it didn’t matter if it was an adulterer or a petty thief,

The town folk simply demanded to beentertained. It is almost impossible for many of us to fathom or even picture a barbaric society like that actually existed on the very ground we walk on today. Until you enter the little farming village of San Pedro Cutud, Pamapanga. narrated by (James Deakin)

Others stripped to the waist, cut their bare backs with broken bottles attached to a piece of wood then beat their wounds

They cut their backs with broken bottles, tortured theirself Extreme Brutal way
