The Good Friday crucifixion of ‘Ben Cristo’

CITY Of SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga: “This year is my 32nd consecutive year to be crucified during Good Friday,” thus said Ruben Enaje during an interview at his house in Barangay San Pedro Cutud, here.

Enaje, also known as “Ben Cristo,” was 26 years old when he was first nailed on the cross to fulfill a vow he made after surviving a fall from a building where he worked as a painter. He vowed to be crucified for nine years after he survived the accident.
