TRADCATKNIGHT: The Exaltation of the Holy Cross
You know that in ancient times the cross was an instrument of torment. It was ignominious for any person to be crucified. It was a dishonor for the person, as well as for his family. Aware of this, St. Paul asked not to be crucified because he was a Roman citizen, and Roman citizens were not subject to crucifixion. He was beheaded with a sword because this was a privilege of the Romans.
