At the cross, Jesus was accompanied by his mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, and the disciple John.
The saint who stood with Mary at the foot of the cross was St. John the Apostle. He is often referred to as "the disciple whom Jesus loved" and was entrusted by Jesus to care for his mother, Mary, as he died on the cross.
John was the only apostle at the cross when he died.
The Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke are clear in saying that no disciple of Jesus stood at the foot of the cross; those of his acquaintance stood afar off. In the Gospel of John, the "disciple whom Jesus loved" stood at the foot of the cross with Mary. Who the disciple was, or who he was intended to be, is unknown. The second-century Church Fathers, by a process of elimination, decided that the disciple must have been John.
The sign nailed to the cross of Jesus said "INRI" which stood for "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" (they didn't have a 'J' back then).INRI is written in Latin: IESUS NAZARENUS REX IUDEAORUM

A:In the synoptic gospels, none of the disciples stood at the foot of the cross. They are quite clear in stating that those of Jesus' acquaintance stood afar off (Luke 23:49). John's Gospel, although loosely based on Luke, changes the account of the crucifixion to place the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' at the foot of the cross with Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of Jesus and her sister. The second-century Church Fathers announced that the beloved disciple must have been John, son of Zebedee, and the Christian Church has subsequently accepted this attribution.
it is called that cause it is where a person stands of falls like Jesus stood somewhere and he also fell for us
Apostle John, Mary Magdelene and Mary of Cleophas were with Mary during the crucifixion.
The cross without Jesus on it signifies that He is risen & no longer on the cross..Jesus is alive.
Cleophas, mentioned in John 19:25, was married to the sister of Jesus' mother (also named Mary). "Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene."
The inscription on the cross of Jesus read: "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews."
Jesus didn't build the cross, he was crucified on it.
