Crucifixion is a method of execution in which a person is nailed or tied to a large wooden cross and left to hang until death. This form of punishment was commonly used in ancient times, particularly by the Romans, to deter crime and rebellion. Victims often suffered from severe pain, dehydration, and exposure before ultimately succumbing to their injuries or asphyxiation. The most famous crucifixion in history is that of Jesus Christ, a central figure in Christianity. According to the New Testament, Jesus was crucified around 30-33 AD, and his death is commemorated by Christians during Good Friday. The event holds significant religious meaning, symbolizing sacrifice and redemption in Christian belief.
