Just in case Lars plans any further attempts at erecting crosses in Pioneer Courthouse Square, he might want to consider the latest study on methods of crucifixion.
The cross could be erected “in any one of a range of orientations”, with the victim sometimes head-up, sometimes head-down or in different postures.
Sometimes he was nailed to the cross by his genitals, sometimes the hands and feet were attached to the side of the cross and not the front, or affixed with cords rather than nails.
Emphasis added to highlight the part that would really draw some press attention this December.
Meanwhile, I’m still awaiting word on whether Lars will plan a special display especially for Easter.
