It is almost certain that Christ's wrists were nailed rather than a nail hammered into the palm of his hand (as many paintings portray). This was done for three reasons: first nailing between the wristbone would be far more secure and the weight of the body could be taken more easily (if the palm was used the flesh would just tear). Secondly it was to cause loss of blood as the nail would pass through the arteries in the wrists -causing blood loss and shock. Thirdly, by passing in the vicinity of the main nerves in the wrist, nailing like this would cause excruciating pain - a caracteristic of the brutal means of execution called crucifixion.
In addition to the nails in the wrists, the legs would be turned sideways with one foot placed over the other. A single long nail would be passed through both ankles again to cause much pain.

How was Jesus tOURCHERED?
Jesus the Christ was nailed through his wrists and ankles to a large wood cross, and left in agony. When this happens (being crucified), breathing becomes very difficult, and the person dies of suffocation. Many pictures and sculptures show Jesus being nailed to the cross through his hands and feet, but that is not how the Romans did it! A person nailed this way would tear away from the nails before they died. So they nailed through the wrists and ankles. Many think that the Roman soldier who speared Jesus in the side was trying to torture Him, but that was simply how they determined if the person had died, yet.
