How is a cruxcifiction actually performed? Where in the hand are the nails actully driven?

A crucifixion was a horrible, horrible way to die.





A person was hung by their wrists (either by nails or by rope), which means all of their weight was on their arms and shoulders, making it very very hard to breathe. The person could stand for a while on his feet, relieving the pressure of the weight of his body off of his arms and shoulders, but when he got tired, or when the pain of the nails through his feet with his weight on them got to be too much, he would transfer the weight back to his shoulders and arms. he would go back and forth like this until he just ran out of strength, and he would then slowly die of no air, exhausted, and in pain.





Crucifixion was reserved by the Romans as the death penalty for those they felt were trying to overthrow the Roman Government. According to Matthew 27:37, the sign placed by the Romans over Jesus's head read, ';Jesus Christ King of the Jews.'; The text of Matthew in 27:37 calls this sign, ';the accusation.'; In other words, the crime for which Jesus was crucified was for being, or having the pretense to be, the king of the Jews, INSTEAD of the Roman emperor, and this is according to the Christian's own New Testament! (see also Matthew 27:27-29)





Matthew 27:37 And set up over his head his


accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF


THE JEWS.How is a cruxcifiction actually performed? Where in the hand are the nails actully driven?
Now that you known where the nails were driven (since most agreed it was the wrist)... I hope that this isn't something that you are considering! I hear it's quite agonizing!How is a cruxcifiction actually performed? Where in the hand are the nails actully driven?
sfederow wins: the first person to note that there wasn't a single method of fastening the victim. Rope-based crucifixion was more common - the crucifixions of the Spartans along the Via Appia were done by rope.
there is no book written aobut how to crucify someone, it was done differnetly different times. whats your favorite methold?
Not through the hands, the hands won't support the weight. Some crucifictions were done by tying the arms to the cross.
It was done in the hand. There is evidence that suggests that the wrists were bound to the cross and that there was a step to balance on.
Not the hands the wrists. As the guy above said hands wont support the weight of the body.
In his hands. I beleive that there was rope on the wrist to support the body weight and the nails where there for torture as a cruxcifiction was designed for...





Passage John 20:27:





27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
it was actually the wrist bone not the hand,the place where we keep the dial of our wrist watch
It was driven between the two bones of the arm, in the area of the wrist. The bones are the ulna and the radius, and they have an attachment in the hand and at the elbow. The nail was diven into the wrist between the two bones on the elbow side of the wrist attachment
This is not so important of a question. I believe that it is in what we call the wrist, but the Jews call that part the hand. Even though there was a step the idea of the crucifixion was actually to suffocate the criminal to death by making the person hang down consticting oxygen to the lungs. Putting most of the weight on the nails. Therefore, the hands have no place to support that kind of weight even with the step. Also the bones are very close together in the hand, but in the wrist there is like a hole big enough for a nail to go right through the wrist without breaking a bone, which is part of the profecy that none of Jesus' bones were broken.
The nails were actually driven thru the wrists. The hands are no where near strong enough to support the upper body.
Not in the hand. They are really put in the wrist. Because the nails rip through the hand.
