Jesus Christ on the Cross

Crucifixion, Jesus Christ on the cross is an event that has been recorded widely all over the world in various gospels and testaments. Death of Jesus Christ immediately after his arrest and trial by Crucifixion is the central belief of entire Christianity and which essentially represents the most important aspect of the doctrine of salvation. It teaches the principles of sufferings and death of the Messiah that was necessary for the forgiveness of sins on the earth.

Crucifixion, a Latin word, is an ancient method of executing a condemned person by fixing or nailing to a large wooden cross of any shape and leaving the person to hang until death. Jesus Christ remains as the most famous victim of crucifixion. For Catholic Christians, an image of Jesus Christ crucified on a cross is the main symbol of religion, whereas the Protestant Christians prefer to use the cross without the figure or body of Jesus Christ.
