Many Filipinos observe Lent, a 40-day period of fasting and prayer for Christians before Easter, with penitence, some allowing themselves to be crucified on Good Friday, and others beating themselves until their bodies bleed, a practice they believe will cleanse their sins, reports Ecumenical News International. Other Filipinos take time out to go to the beach or to mountain resorts as the end of the Lenten period is a long weekend holiday for many people to escape the humid and hot summer weather in the lowlands.
