The story of the crucifixion of Jesus and the symbol of the cross, even today, when it is customary to talk about the crisis of Christianity, retain enormous power of influence on us and our lives. But what actually happened then, 2000 years ago, and is there any reason to say that something happened that day that radically changed the world? When Jesus of Nazareth died a terrible death on the cross at the hands of Roman soldiers, no one saw him as a hero. When his body was hastily placed in the tomb, no one said that his death turned into a miraculous victory, became a heroic martyrdom. His movement, a motley group of followers, died with him. The world hasn't changed. Another young leader was brutally executed. However, looking at this day in light of what happened shortly after it, Jesus' followers came to a shocking conclusion: the death of Jesus was the beginning of a revolution.
