The Crucifixion of Jesus refers to the execution of Jesus Christ, a central figure in Christianity, by being nailed to a cross. This event is believed to have occurred around 30-33 AD in Jerusalem, under the Roman governor Pontius Pilate. It is a significant moment in Christian theology, symbolizing sacrifice and redemption. According to the New Testament, Jesus was arrested, tried, and sentenced to death. He was mocked, beaten, and forced to carry his cross to the site of execution, known as Golgotha. The crucifixion is commemorated by Christians during Good Friday, marking the day of Jesus' death before his resurrection on Easter Sunday.
