Crucifixion
Crucifixion was a very cruel method of execution widely used in antiquity. It was imposed in the Orient and especially in the Roman Empire, mainly on runaway or rebellious slaves.
The Mystery of Golgotha, which took place with the death on the cross, the entombment, the descent into hell and the resurrection of Christ, is the central event of the entire development of the Earth and of humanity. After the rise of Christianity as the Roman state religion (380), crucifixion was replaced by other methods of execution in Europe. In the mystical re-experiencing of the descriptions of the Gospel of John, the carrying and crucifixion of the cross is at the same time the fourth stage of the Christian initiation and can lead to a corresponding stigmatisation, through which the stigmata of Christ are revealed.
