    Ah - so they think if they aren’t wearing the cross he’ll have forgotten about the whole crucifixion thing?

    I mean, to be fair he was only up there for like half a day - so short they allegedly needed to poke him given how unusual dying that quickly was for the execution method (though it was suspiciously shortly after drinking something in two accounts).

    So yeah, maybe they have a point and a reminder is warranted.

    “Hey you, remember that they nailed you to a cross! Don’t forget! The most important thing in your life was that. You said some other stuff that I don’t really remember and usually zone out about on Sundays, but for sure the whole getting nailed to wood part was really really important and the ultimate summation of your life’s purpose. It was somehow necessary because I like to look at boobs on the Internet. So thanks for that, and again - don’t forget about it, because I’m sure it was very forgettable.”

      No no no no, you have it backwards. They’re not trying to remind Jesus of the cross, they’re trying to remind themselves just how painful of a death that the alleged Redeemer of man had to go through.
