Crucifixion of Jesus
Key Facts
What Happened on the Cross?
Imagine a very sad day long, long ago. Jesus was put on a big wooden cross. This was a way people were punished back then. Soldiers put nails through his hands and feet. It was a very difficult time. This event is called the crucifixion. It happened in a place called Judea, a very long time ago, around 2,000 years ago!
A Sign for Everyone to See!
On top of the cross, the soldiers put a sign. It said, 'Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.' This sign was written in three different languages so many people could read it. Think of it like having a sign in English, Spanish, and French at a playground! It was meant to tell everyone who Jesus was.
Super Sad, Super Important
