Pampanga, Philippines. 14th Apr, 2017. Hundreds of penitents walked under the midday sun in San Fernando, Pampanga, during the annual Good Friday Maleldo festival as they sacrifice their body for their faith. Flagellation and crucifixion has been discouraged by the Catholic church but devotees have continued the tradition for decades. Credit: J Gerard Seguia/Pacific Press/Alamy Live News
