| description | A large preponderance of scholars agree on the historicity of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The earliest accounts of the death of Jesus are contained in the four canonical gospels. There are also other references in the New Testament epistles. In the synoptic gospels, Jesus predicts His death in three separate places. Each of the four Gospels end with an protracted narrative of Jesus' arrest, preliminary trial at the Sanhedrin and concluding trial in Pontius Pilate's court, where Jesus was lashed, convicted to death, and then led to the place of crucifixion initially carrying His cross before Roman soldiers induce Simon of Cyrene to carry it for Him. Jesus was thus crucified, entombed, and Resurrected from death. This article based on a literature review of relevant articles in academic journals and other works interrogates what early Christians believed concerning death, the Roman modus operandi of Crucifying one, the Crucifixion of Jesus as reconstructed from historical sources and the two tombs of Jesus identified in Jerusalem. It additionally expands on the critical spiritual significance of the Crucifixion for Orthodox believers |
