What would you like to ask us?Is this the right place to ask about related concepts and words? That I can write for myself so that others understand what I mean so I'm new here ....
Well this is really embarrassing but came as a new concept "Dancing on the Cross" ...What would you like to ask us?
Well, it's the vigorous movements of the victim as she struggles to cope with the pain and strain, typically hauling herself up to try to ease the strain on her shoulders and chest, sinking after a short time exhausted, twisting to right and left as if to tear herself off the cross, tossing her hair to shake off the pain, twisting her head to try to suck sweat from her own shoulder to ease the burning thirst ...Well this is really embarrassing but came as a new concept Dancing on the Cross ...
Does Dancing on the Cross mean trying to improve posture when nailed to the cross or trying to breathe?
Thank you so much for this information I thought a little bit about that, but I didn't dare ask directly if it sounded too harsh ...Well, it's the vigorous movements of the victim as she struggles to cope with the pain and strain, typically hauling herself up to try to ease the strain on her shoulders and chest, sinking after a short time exhausted, twisting to right and left as if to tear herself off the cross, tossing her hair to shake off the pain, twisting her head to try to suck sweat from her own shoulder to ease the burning thirst ...
So yes, trying, hopelessly, to find the best posture, and fighting to breathe, are part of the 'dance'.
Trying to breathe, indeed!Well this is really embarrassing but came as a new concept Dancing on the Cross ...

But @Eulalia can explain such things in a more moving, visualising and dynamic way than I ever would be able to!Well, it's the vigorous movements of the victim as she struggles to cope with the pain and strain, typically hauling herself up to try to ease the strain on her shoulders and chest, sinking after a short time exhausted, twisting to right and left as if to tear herself off the cross, tossing her hair to shake off the pain, twisting her head to try to suck sweat from her own shoulder to ease the burning thirst ...

"Dancing on the Cross" ...

Luckily, I dared to ask if I wouldn’t be bothered if I understood correctly. Indeed, that is a good expression for "dancing on the cross" when the convict is on the cross, and it seems to look like a brutal dance when hardly anyone can be in place for a moment ...Trying to breathe, indeed!

I think if the victim just hangs there, then breathing becomes difficult because the ribs are stretched.. so the victim is forced to move in order to breathe easier.. but moving is incredibly agonising.. so the cross effectively forces the victim to torture herself. These movements are known around here as “the crux dance”.Luckily, I dared to ask if I wouldn’t be bothered if I understood correctly.

Well, this is perhaps the most fascinating subject for myself in this punishment, that it combines the death penalty, a performance in public and torture at the same time ...I think if the victim just hangs there, then breathing becomes difficult because the ribs are stretched.. so the victim is forced to move in order to breathe easier.. but moving is incredibly agonising.. so the cross effectively forces the victim to torture herself.

'sedile' is actually Latin for 'a seat' - even a very uncomfortable one - a piece of wood or metal sticking out from the upright between the victim's thighs, so she can rest her groin on it. It simply prolongs the suffering, without some such support, she'd die quicker and escape the suffering.Thanks a lot for the answers ! I would still have asked is "sedile" someone's footrest or bench that supports the convict when she/he is on the cross?
Thank you! I thought "Sedile" is derived from the word seat but I couldn't find a direct translation so that's why I was bothered by that too but thanks now it's much easier to follow the conversation and probably even write something when i dare ... It was great that I found this forum when i`m interested ...'sedile' is actually Latin for 'a seat' - even a very uncomfortable one - a piece of wood or metal sticking out from the upright between the victim's thighs, so she can rest her groin on it.

A footrest is, of course, similar, but for the feet to rest on.
Sometimes, a 'cornu', = 'horn', fixed onto the sedile would penetrate the rectum, or a female victim's vagina, just an additional torture.
You have, I hope, a reasonable cloak of anonymity here, Jone, if you are careful not to publish any personal information.Even today, I have read many interesting stories from this forum ... Is it possible if I dare to write comments and opinions on them as well? I know that may sound like a stupid question, but I find myself on a hard threshold to express my opinions and desires in public because this is a really sensitive topic ... Thank you if anyone can help me with this.
