CRUCEFIXION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST


 The crucifixion and death of our Lord Jesus Christ occured  in the first century in Judea and is recalled in the New Testament. 

Unfortunately our Lord Jesus is arrested by the high Jewish priests and by Pontius Pilate who sentenced Him to flagellation and then handed Him over to the soldiers for Crucefixion.

Jesus was stripped of His clothing and they offered Him vinegar and gall to drink, He was then hung between two thieves and according to the Gosple of Saint Mark, He died on the first hour of the day about 3 pm. 

During this time the soldiers fixed a sign on the top of the Cross saying Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews. written in three langjages Hebrew, Latin and Greek. 

Then they divided His garments between themselves and cast a lot for His seamless robe. The Gosple of Saint John states that one of the soldiers pierced His side to be certain that our Lord died,

Our Lord asked His Father to forgive the people who killed Him because they did not know what they were doing.

Christians all over the world commemorate every year the crucefixion of our Lord with passion and anguish but also with happiness for the glorious day of Jesus Christ"s Resurrection.

PLEASE DON'T FORGET THAT THE PARTHENON MARBELS MUST RETURN TO GREECE
