During a crucifixion reenactment in Western Virginia, the man fell around ten feet.
The most recent health update from a family member of a guy who was critically injured after falling from a cross during a crucifixion reenactment has been released.
The Masonic Cemetery off of Route 33 in Weston, Western Virginia, had a crucifixion reenactment with the Vandalia Community Christian Church on Friday, April 19.
A crucifixion reenactment is a devotional activity that some churches may include in their Holy Week celebrations.
Members of the community can perform acts of self-flagellation, crawling on the ground, carrying wooden crosses, or even nailing themselves to crosses as a way to honor Jesus Christ.
Perform personal penance or sacrifice, or to invoke goodwill and blessings. During the 12:30 pm reenactment, an 84-year-old man ended up falling about 10 feet from one of the crosses.
