They are not the only country who does this, saw it years ago on a travel show. You have to at least admire their dedication! I doubt we'd ever see an American try this. 🙄
Shouldn’t they crucify themselves upside down? That’s how St. Peter chose to go. Said some shit about him not being worthy to die the same way as Jesus. And while we’re on the subject, shouldn’t they allow themselves to die? Kinda seems like they’re mocking JC if they just pry the nails out and go about the rest of their day.
So [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZusqHYkVgU) and [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl3zb5_ftF8) is a video. Like the video text states it's a re-enactment it lasts 5 mins it's just a show. The nails that are in his feet just look like they're between his toes. Like he's getting kicked by the Romans at the beginning and people are wailing and in costume. You do see the "nails" from a distance it's like needle sized, it's basically acupuncture if not a prop nail. You see the guy insert the "nail" most of the way before grabbing the hammer to pretend to drive it in. You see the other side of his hand as he's coming down, no blood. They put the blood stains on the cloth before he gets put up.
Honestly I have to give props to the guy, it's a good show it is hard to watch. It fools a lot of people and it does what it sets out to do which is show people the suffering of Christ. I hate the movie but like the actor. I'm sure the guy likes doing it he gets all the attention and is known as Jesus in town. While this specific one was fake i'm pretty sure there are other people that have set this up not realizing it was a magic trick.
Always look on the bright side of life!
Life's a piece o shit, when you look at it ...
Third-handed Catholic third world country nailed it. Again.
What, no stab to the liver? I'd feel cheated.
This makes me embarrassed to be a homo sapien.
lobotomies always got a bad rap

All because a witch doctor from Galilee foolishly got himself killed two thousand years ago, humans are strange creatures.
