Jesus was nailed to the cross. They nailed Him on His heels and wrists. CHOOSE HIM!!!!!!! Answer 10/Apr/2009 Crucifixion was a slow and agonising death. Contrary to what a lot of people think, a person's life did not end through bleeding to death or starvation.This is how it happened: - The weight of the outstretched body pushed down on to the rib cage. - The rib cage then pushed into the lungs, so that it was difficult to breathe, and the lungs thus filled with fluid. - A small piece of wood was placed under the feet to enable to person to push himself up so that he could breathe better; this prolonged the agony. - When it was time to end the display of punishment, the legs were broken so that the person could no longer push himself up, and thus collapsed, resulting in death as described above. Jesus was dead when the soldier came to to his to Him. - It took, on average, 3 hours to die.
