Saint DISMAS died crucified in Jerusalem, not for being a christian believer but a malefactor. He shared his punishment with his mate Gestas, also a malefactor, and Jesus Christ. Previous to be crucified he was harshly flagellated. DISMAS was crucified like Jesus. Both feet and hands were fixed in the cross with nails. Once fixed upon the cross, DISMAS was lifted so that the people could enjoy with the sight of his torture. During the hours of crucifixion he repented of his miserable life and asked Jesus to be forgiven of his sins. Jesus promised him the Paradise. After several hours of suffering, two executioners made appearance, bringing with them ladders, spades, ropes, and large iron clubs for the purpose of breaking the legs of the criminals. They took up their iron clubs and broke Dismas' legs, both below the knees. They did the same with Gestas. A few minutes later, DISMAS gave a deep groan, and expired.
