Details:
Crucifixion was a form of execution used by the Romans and was usually reserved for slaves[1]. It was the most painful and disgraceful form of death[1]. In Catholicism, the Crucifixion is an emblem of victory and sits upon every altar where Mass is celebrated[2]. Jesus of Nazareth underwent Jewish and Roman trials, flogged, and was sentenced to death by crucifixion[3]. Catholic teaching documents on the Crucifixion explain that it is a source of redemption for humanity[4].
St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church in Greenville, South Carolina is a parish that is a thriving example of the New Evangelization[1].
