Crucifixion

 Here's an historical event that, like it or not, believe or not, changed the course of world history . . . and my personal history:

"The soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole Roman cohort around him. They stripped him and put as scarlet robe on him. And after twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they knelt down before him, saying “hail, king of the Jews.” They spat on him and took the reed and began beating him on the head. After they had mocked him, they took the scarlet rode off, put his own garments back on him and led him away to crucify him. . . When they came to a place called Golgotha, which means place of the skull, they crucified him."

Golgatha, or Calvary, as it appears today:
