We have a Lenten tradition here called penitensya, or penitence. I don't personally practice it but it's certainly something.

In imitation of Christ, penitents flog themselves in the hot sun and carry crosses. Some go all the way and get crucified. Yes, you can die from doing these things.

Practitioners come from all walks of life, rich and poor. I saw some earlier today and wondered if there were any hired killers from this administration's drug war among them
