The York Play of the Crucifixion outlines the scene in which Jesus is nailed to the cross by Roman soldiers and the raising of the cross. The soldiers appear unphased (perhaps even numb) to Christ's grotesque torture. They also seem ignorant of his crime, treating him like a lamb about to be slaughtered at a grecian butcher. Christ remains silent except for two monologues (or dialogues with God), through the entire painful scene.
