Warning! Crucifixion can be hazardous to your health! Who knew? Apparently, Filipinos certainly didn't as they prepared for the Easter celebration this weekend.
Health officials in the Philippines have issued a warning to people taking part in Easter crucifixion rituals.
The health department has strongly advised penitents to check the condition of the whips they plan to use to lash their backs, the Manila Times newspaper reports.In the hot and dusty atmosphere, officials warn, using unhygienic whips to make deep cuts in the body could lead to tetanus and other infections.
Truly, in my experience, the only Easter tragedy worse than accidentally using a Tetanus laden whip for self-flagellation has to be your mom forgetting the Cadbury creme eggs for your Easter basket.
That's right, Mom! It's been 21 years, and you're still not forgiven!
