[Mark A Becker]

I would note, the New Testament is explicit about Jesus expiring before...a bone of his was to be broken

Yes, notch, I am well aware of that from bible study I have done. My poem speaks to the 'art' of crucifixion. This is why I added a 'spoiler'. The Romans were very good at enforcing order, and provided public examples to do so. 'Roman candles' were a particularly gruesome way of 'illuminating' streets with impaled human torches.

Jesus was one of many thousands to suffer extreme punishment.

Thanks for weighing in,
Mark
