Christ was nalied while lying down on His cross so His arms would have been out to the sides,but when the cross was lifted up His arms would have been raised overhead, due to the slump of His body.

Out to the sides, with three iron spikes, one each through the bones of his left and right wrist(not through palms) and a single spike through both ankles, remember the spikes were driven through the tissue between the bones, as no bone was broken

Through out the years the most common has been out from his sides. This would be a question to be answered from him. Pray and keep your heart with him and when the time comes, you could ask him yourself.

It's "allegory" in both "covenants": Galatians 4.
It's "mystery" written "aforetime" for y(our) "learning".
Learn what meaneth "I will have mercy, not sacrifice".

Christ: "the end of the law", can't be lawed.
God(Grace) cannot lie(law) nor die(law).
God will have mercy, and not sacrifice.
Not part is not then, not now, not ever.

First "finished" the human "race" is the winner take all:

AD -> only goes ONE way, unto "the end" of all law law:
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

In all the history & religious studies that I have done, to the best of my knowledge his arms were outstretched.

The typical Roman style was over head to induce suffocation if you didn't hold up your body.

Unless you're an anthropologist.
