Okay sana yung girl at yung pose eh kaso mali ata yung pagsabit sa krus? Nakakatawa lang kasi ang daming nagagalit, eh okay naman yung girl :laughbounce:

And how about sa FB ang mga kumakalat na picture na may - usually - na caption na "share if you love Jesus, ignore if you love the devil", and ang daming nagpapauto sa mga pic na iyan. Truly hypocrites at their best (the one who made the pic and those who share it)

Photos of ‘tourists’ posing with crosses on Good Friday anger Netizens

MANILA, Philippines—Anger and ridicule among netizens on Monday were targeted against women in skimpy shorts, believed to be tourists, posing with wooden crosses erected during the long Lenten break meant to remember the suffering and death of Jesus Christ.

The first to have gone viral has a woman believed to be in her late teens to early 20s posing on a cross as if it’s a tourist item. The snapshot was attributed to photographer Maike Domingo who posted it on his Facebook account.

The second photo, taken by professional photographer-college professor Jay Javier, has two women on a jump shot with two crosses as background.

Both incidents, as confirmed by Domingo and Javier, happened on Good Friday in Angeles City, Pampanga, which, for years has been the site of various re-enactment of the Crucifixion. Some devotees went as far as having themselves nailed on the cross like Christ as part of their yearly penitence.

Even Javier was disgusted over the blasphemous acts of these tourists. In his Facebook account, his caption for the jump shot: “Angeles Pampanga. Good Friday 3.30pm. The site of a Passion Play and the reading of the ‘Siete Palabras’. Kailangan talagang gawin ito? Even non-believers will cringe at the sight of this blatant show of disrespect and impropriety.”

While the blatant disrespect of the cross was the common reactions, others relate such sacrilege to another series of viral photos of a young woman riding a dead whale shark or butanding. Others remember last year’s exhibit at the Cultural Center of the Philippines, where artist Mideo Cruz’s installation piece had the face of Christ glued with wooden phallic symbols.

There were also references on policemen posing with the damaged tourist bus after the hostage drama in Rizal Park in August, 2010.

The identities of the women in the photos were not yet known as of posting.

Di lang nailing on the cross was used as a form of early capital punishment, The use of the cross as a punishment was only halted by emperor constantine. What Christ went through was a common penalty during that period.

The last-mentioned punishment (throwing a criminal into the river (projectio in profluentem) was inflicted for patricide or killing your father. As soon as any one was convicted of patricide he was immediately blindfolded as unworthy of the light, and in the next place the person were taken to the field of Mars outside Rome, stripped of everything then whipped with rods. He was then sewed up in a sack, and thrown into the sea. Later in time, to add to the punishment for patricide, a serpent was put in the sack; and still later, an ape, a dog and a cock. The sack which held the criminal was called Culeus, on which account the punishment itself is often signified by the same name.

People should credit Pontius Pilate for meting the punishment of the cross. Imagine if it was a hanging, what would people be puting on church altars?

May utang na loob pa pala dapat ang Dyos kay pontius pilate nyan.

There is a quote saying "When in Rome, do what the Romans do".
A little respect in a sacred, Roman Catholic place should be practiced all the time.
Being a tourist does not grant you to behave like idiots and disrespect what the locals regard as sacred.

Yup, with todays information technology, tourist must be wise to know the local customs and traditions of the place where they are going to stay in order to have a safe and fun trip.

So what do you do when everyone in the crowd is taking their picture with the cross?

Never assume that "common sense" is actually common. You would be surprised by what other people do or don't do on what we would normally take as "common sense".
