The Jesuits believe, after in-depth research, that Jesus was pierced by the Roman soldier Longinus in his left side near the heart, with his left foot nailed over his right foot (consequently, there were only 3 Holy Nails). 😜
Jesus was pierced in his left side near the heart.
Jesus was nailed on his left foot put over his right foot.
Only 3 Holy Nails !!! 👈
1 nail on the left hand,
1 nail on the right hand, and
1 nail on the 2 feet.
Jesus was crucified naked!👈
Historical and biblical evidence indicates that Jesus was almost certainly crucified naked. Roman crucifixion was designed for maximum humiliation and torture, which involved stripping victims of all clothing. While artistic depictions often include a loincloth for modesty, historical records show this was not standard practice for Roman executions.
Chúa Giêsu bị đóng đinh trên thập tự giá trong tình trạng khỏa thân!👈
Bằng chứng lịch sử và Kinh Thánh cho thấy Chúa Giê-su gần như chắc chắn đã bị đóng đinh trong tình trạng khỏa thân. Hình thức đóng đinh của người La Mã được thiết kế để gây ra sự sỉ nhục và tra tấn tột độ, bao gồm việc lột sạch quần áo của nạn nhân. Mặc dù các bức tranh nghệ thuật thường miêu tả Chúa Giêsu mặc một chiếc khố để che thân, nhưng các ghi chép lịch sử cho thấy đây không phải là thông lệ tiêu chuẩn trong các cuộc hành quyết của người La Mã.
Christ crucified naked, by Alonso Cano, c. 1640
