What happened to the two crosses next to Jesus?

Question

When Jesus was executed by the local Jerusalem politicians, two other men were executed by crucifixion too. So this means there was a parade of three crosses through Jerusalem carried by three different men.

What ever happened to those two other crosses (the good thief and bad thief)?

Have archeologists discovered them? Are those two other crosses in a religious museum in Jerusalem?

Answer 1

They were along with the cross of Jesus found by Helena the Mother of Constantine in Rome.

Dominus Tecum.

Answer 2

1) Crucifixion is not a Jewish form of execution. It's Roman, so your assertion that He was "executed by the local Jerusalem politicians" is wrong.

2) No. The Cross of St. Dismas and the "bad thief" (known as Gestas) were never found. There is a tradition that Relics enshrined at Santa Croce in Gerusalemme in the Chapel of the Holy Relics include:

A large fragment of the Good Thief's cross;


Nor is their any biblical evidence that they "paraded" along with Jesus.

Answer 3

They don't even have Jesus's cross, since wood was very scares back in those days, they were most likely olive trees. Besides who gives credit for the guys who dad with Jesus, they were only thieves, even though Jesus HUNG out with them.

Answer 4

What the heck are "local Jerusalem politicians"? Pontius Pilate was not a politician.
And no one knows where those crosses are.

Answer 5

I recall seeing pieces of them being offered in Johnson Smith novelty catalogs back when I was young. They were 25 cents cheaper than the pieces of the "True Cross". However, I think the only real difference was in the packaging.

Answer 6

Jesus walked away from it all and died from old age. He knew the prophecy was a farce. A man named Simon was drugged and replaced him.

Answer 7

No one knows or I think ever looked for them!
