As the Easter is just dozens of hours away, Ondo Catholics celebrated Good Friday on April 19, 2014, by commemorating and re-enacting the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
This day, also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, Black Friday, or Easter Friday, day is commemorated with street processions in many countries around the globe. For instance, in predominantly Roman Catholic Philippines, some devotees engage in self-flagellation and even have themselves crucified with real nail piercing their body as expressions of penance despite health issues and strong disapproval from the Church.
As concerns Nigeria, such extremes have not been spotted, at least in Akure. See the photos below:
