In Danish state television, a member of Opus Dei recently showed such a

His shorts must have been very short. The cilice is worn at the top of

Of course, he didn't wear the chain. He just showed it - said that only

didn't hurt at all, he /said/ ...

In Lutheran Denmark, I think flagellantism vanished with the Reformation
1536 [with an act by Parliament in Copenhagen].
