Iesus nazarenus rex Iudaeorum

Executioners

had finished

the crucifixion

of the king on the cross

Executioners

tied ropes

to the trunk

of the cross

Executioners

have done their job

nailing hands and feet

to the cross

Torment, suffering

Iesus nazarenus rex Iudaeorum

Bones smashed

one upon the other

wounds were ripped

blood bursts again

Words of love

and compassion

echoed

through the air

Torment, suffering, passion, death

Scripsit autem et titulum pilatus

et posuit super crucem

erat autem scriptum

Iesus nazarenus rex Iudaeorum

Jesus of Nazareth the king of the Jews

The eminence on which the cross was planted was

about two feet higher than the surrounding parts

The feet of Jesus were near the ground for his friends to be

able to kiss them

and his face was turned to the North-West
