A wooden cross.
Answer:
Christians believe that Jesus was crucified on a cross made of wood, and this is how His death has been portrayed in art throughout the ages. However, Jehovah Witnesses believe that Jesus was executed on an upright stake rather than a cross, and the version of The Bible used by Witnesses (rejected as being poor by all Christian groups) uses the word 'stake'. The Witnesses may have this belief because the condemned man (women were not crucified) carried only the cross-beam as the whole cross would have been too heavy. The Greek word in the Gospel accounts is σταυρόω (stauroō). The common meaning of the term is "to crucify" in the manner Christians would understand; but another meaning is "to stake" in the sense of to "drive down stakes" as when pitching a tent. As this is clearly not the context of the Gospel stories of Christ's death, we are left with the traditional meaning "to crucify".
