Jesus Takes Up The Cross

Now the soldiers have torn away the purple robe, reopening the wounds on his body as Jesus takes up the cross. Mounted on his horse is the Roman Centurion, Abenadar, appointed by Pilate to take charge of the execution and lead the procession to Calvary. The Centurion at the right, holding back the mob with his spear is the professional executioner, Gaius Flaccus.
