Crucifixion is a complicated business

Up close with Jesus before being raised on the Cross
Imagine that you are not comfortable with heights, get covered in fake blood and strip down to a loin cloth then voluntarily go onto a Cross that looks down, way down, on thousands of people. It looks very scary, but Jesus has a harness which attaches to the centre of the cross, there are very strong handles which his hands can clasp and the rope also secures his arms. However, it still takes a good level of bravery to take that deep breath and step up.
The new handles we put on the cross and rope supports for his arms helped Jesus really be more secure upon that cross so high above the crowd.
Held up by a very strong, itty bitty handle and a bit of rope.

Jesus is raised up for all to see.
