Today is Good Friday, a day that commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Readers wishing to expand their knowledge (beyond the four gospel accounts and various Hollywood depictions) of this horrific practice may find interesting the information (including medical details and diagrams) available here. Additional information (e.g., Biblical accounts and religious and secular customs, practices, and traditions) can be found here.
