Crucifixion of the frog depicts a two-piece frog figure nailed to a
cross, representing a cursed ritual that is believed to bring bad
luck and summon evil spirits to the location where the crucified
frog is hidden. The curse is said to lift only when the frog's body
decays naturally.

Guide to the ritual:

  1. Catch a live frog from the pond of a church or another holy building.

  2. Crucify the frog according to the chosen religion.

  3. Present the frog with a religious object.

  4. Gently stroke the frog.

  5. Insert a cross through the frog's anus.

  6. Nail the frog's legs to the cross and tie them with string.

  7. Bathe the frog in the water from the pond where it was captured from.

  8. Provide the crucified frog with a new "home."
