What was the crucified figure like? It's worth pondering. Just as Jesus was the center of attention at his execution, so the cross has become a symbol of Christianity everywhere you look. You see it in churches and cathedrals, but also on necklaces, keychains, rings, and pendants worn by many people. It is certainly curious that an instrument of punishment like a guillotine or electric chair would be reduced to such ubiquity, with few objections being raised against them. Yet the cross of Jesus has transformed its gruesome history into a positive one, now signifying the intersection of human beings with their creator; it's become a powerful reminder of our redemption through sacrifice. Unfortunately, there isn't any information that clearly explains what the original cross looked like at that time in history. Crosses used for crucifixion, however, have been studied based on archaeological discoveries. They often appear as rough wooden planks fastened together and used by the condemned who would be forced to drag them along until their final rest. The estimated weight was well over 110 pounds. To ensure longer torment sessions during executions, the Romans implemented a system where a platform for nailing feet at the foot of the cross would delay death caused by suffocation, allowing criminals enough time to breathe in. These harsh crucifixion techniques make even thinking about it painful to acknowledge today.
