I meant to post this yesterday on Palm Sunday, but I forgot. Still, for those of you inclined to contemplate such things, (and what better time than Holy Week to do so), the full article is an excellent description of the miseries of flogging and crucifixion. It even explains the sweating of blood in the Garden of Gesthemane. If you have access to the Journal of the American Medical Association (available at all medical libraries and even at some public libraries), I highly recommend it. posted by Sydney on
