Funded and published by Catholic Education Office, Sale for schools in the diocese. The Roman executioners often crucified people on elevated spots near major roads, to serve as a warning of the fate of anyone who challenged authority. Dissenters or revolutionaries were not tolerated. The upright poles, for example, were left standing, not just for efficiency but as enduring reminders of what happened to those who bucked the system. Golgotha, the Place of the Skull, where Jesus was crucified, was one such place.
