Tip of the Week
The Roman Catholics of the Philippines take the celebration of Easter very seriously. The town of Cutud is famous for its reenactments of the events surrounding the crucifixion of Christ. The rituals draw devout Catholics and tourists alike, who make a 30-minute walk to reenact the march to Calvary, the site of Christ's crucifixion.Visitors who aren't used to walking along dusty roads in the extreme heat, often do not make it to the end. The event even includes an actual mock crucifixion, with some participants actually being nailed to a cross.
