A man cuts the back of a penitent to draw blood on the eve of the Good Friday reenactments of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in front of a church in San Fernando City, Pampanga province, north of Manila on April 5, 2012. Despite the church advice to shun the practice, devout Filipinos self-flagellate as others prepared to be nailed to crosses as Asia's bastion of Catholicism gets set to mark Good Friday.
