Look Through: Tradition of crucifixion: Pampanga’s ‘Kristo’ nears retirement

San Pedro Cutud's Kristo nears retirement | #LookThrough

Three years since the tradition was put to a halt, the reenactment of Jesus Christ’s passion and crucifixion returns to Barangay San Pedro Cutud in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga.

As an act of penance and thanksgiving, San Pedro Cutud’s ‘Kristo’ Ruben Enaje is crucified every Good Friday. But with over three decades of doing so, has this cross become too heavy to bear?

INQUIRER.net takes a #LookThrough Tatay Ruben’s panata (vow) of being nailed to the cross during Holy Week.
