Modern processions of hooded Flagellants are still a feature of various Mediterranean Catholic countries, mainly in Spain, Italy and some former colonies, usually every year during Lent <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lent>. They also occur in the Philippines during Holy Week. For example in the commune of Guardia Sanframondi<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardia_Sanframondi>in Campania <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campania>, Italy, such parades are organized once every seven years.
Some Roman Catholics in Philippines practice flagellation as a form of devout worship, sometimes in addition to self-crucifixion<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion> [*citation needed <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed>*](during the end of Lent season). Los hermanos penitentes For more details on this topic, see Penitentes (New Mexico)<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penitentes_%28New_Mexico%29> . In English, "the penitent brothers." This is a semi-secret society of flagellants among the Hispanic Roman Catholics of Colorado and New Mexico. [1] <http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11635c.htm> In Italy, members of the Flagellant movement were called *disciplinati*, while *laudesi* never practiced flagellation, but met together in their own chapel to sing *laudi* (canticles) in honour of the Blessed Virgin<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blessed_Virgin>, but which gradually assumed a dramatic form and grew into a theatrical form known as *rappresentazioni sacre*. A play in the Roman dialect of the 14th century, edited by Vattasso (Studi e Testi, no. 4, p. 53), explicitly bears the title lauda. Other religions Unrelated practices exist in non-Roman Catholic traditions, including actual flagellation <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flagellation>amongst Shiites <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiites> (commemorating the martyrdom of Husayn ibn Ali <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Husayn_ibn_Ali>), as well as traditions such as whipping women (while spanking<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanking#Non-punitive_spankings>men) in a Taoist <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoist> temple on the Chinese New Year<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_New_Year> .
