Modern day crucifixion – in South Korea
In an attempt to follow the example of Christ, a devout Christian was found dead.
The 58 year old man was found nailed to a cross in an apparent recreation of Christ’s crucifixion – killed himself, police revealed on 18th May, 2011.
The taxi driver nailed his feet to the cross, tied his neck to it and stabbed himself in the side. He then drilled holes in his hands and slipped them over the nailes on the cross in Gyeongbuk province of South Korea.
His “ deep religious faith” may have helped him endure immense pain. He was found wearing just underwear and a crown of thorns.
