| Notes: | After scourging themselves into unconsciousness, these Filipino flagellants have fallen forward on the ground to make the figure of the cross with their hand and body. Whips are lying on their shoulders."The ceremonies in N.M. went even further. The highest priest of cult member considered it an honor to be chosen the `Christ' and crucified." | |
