I.N.R.I.

Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum



Executioners had finished

the crucifixion of the king on the cross

Executioners tied ropes

to the trunk of the cross

Executioners have done their job

nailing hands and feet to the cross



Torment, suffering



Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum



Bones smashed one upon the other

wounds were ripped blood bursts again

words of love and compassion

echoed through the air



Torment, suffering, passion, death



Scripsit autem et titulum pilatus

et posuit super crucem

erat autem scriptum

Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum



Jesus of Nazareth the king of the jews



The eminence on which the cross was planted was

about two feet higher than the surrouding parts

the feet of jesus were near the ground for his friends

to be able to kiss them



and his face was turned to the north-west



Torment, suffering, passion, death
