Way to the Cross

[XICVLC]

Hey everyone! I am new here, and one thing that I like to think about is my way to be crucified, and I want ti ask you all how do you imagine that way to the cross. I have a foot fetish and something I’d like to know is: if you could choose, would you walk to your crucifixion barefoot or wearing sandals? If barefoot, How do you imagine the ground?

All my subjects have been barefooted. The way to the crucifixion is a rocky, gravel path...

In consensual role play: Anything that prevents injuries, especially outdoors. As someome who once stepped into a broken glass while barefoot, I can tell you, feet injuries suck. Of course the shoes will have to go when it is time to mount the cross.

In fantasy: Someone condemned to the cross has no right to wear shoes! It does not matter if they injure themselves while walking over the rough roads or stepping on sharp rocks. After all, they won't complain about this anymore once the nails penetrate their feet!



Let me quote from my story "The Inquisition Game" (Chapter 15):
Without needing directions, Ashley slowly tottered towards the gate, carefully balancing the patibulum on her shoulders. Any movement of the wood meant more pain for her, emitting from the nails in her wrists through her arms into her entire upper body. Nathan could only guess the level of her suffering from the bloody footprints she left on the rocky and dusty ground. Most of the blood came from her destroyed back, running over her ass and down her legs. But the little sharp rocks Ashley had to walk over surely added to her injuries, too.

No sandals, certainly not; the convicts are not allowed any comfort. You are heading for total social decay. Humiliated to the max, you have to walk barefoot on a dusty floor made of a mixture of earth and stones.

Simply barefoot on a road full of stones, dust and dirt. Walking in the dust has a real sense of what's going to happen to you shortly. Even if I have a pair of sandals, my path will always be difficult.

 

[XICVLC]

I also imagine myself barefoot, it makes sense, it is nore humilliating and who cares if it hurts?

 

[Loinclothslave]

Well of course I’m barefoot! Even before being condemned, this slave never had shoes…

Mmmmm, via crux “the road to the cross” has been something I’ve dreamed of since I was very young!

the road is rocky, sharp protruding stones litter the entire route, which is hopefully a very long way… my feet suffer terribly, but I am offered no choice or respite as they get torn and bloody, each step a torment on it’s own…

I won’t bore you with all of the extra details I dream of, I could no doubt rant for a good while!

Don't forget that on the "via crucis" course you will carry a heavy patibulum on your shoulders which will be used to nail your arms once you reach the execution site. This huge piece of wood will put even more pressure on your feet during the walk.

I spend quite a lot of my time in bare feet, indoors and out, I feel comfortable that way. Certainly I'd expect to be barefoot on my way to be crucified - and historically I'd almost certainly have spent all my life that way, unless I were one of the privileged classes. So my feet would be pretty well hardened to walking on rough, stony ground, and I'd be pretty experienced in avoiding stubbing and stumbling, even while carrying a heavy cross-beam. While my fantasies vary a lot in their settings, typically my via dolorosa begins in an urban setting along a paved road, but continues out into increasingly rough wasteland, with the sights and smells of urban rubbish, smouldering fires and polluted channels, scavenging birds and animals, thorny weeds and thistles threatening my feet and legs as I stagger along, and culminating with skulls and bony fragments fallen from the crosses lining the route.

I always imagine I am carried to my crucifixion spread eagled on a wooden frame, on a rough cart pulled by donkeys, hanging high enough so that the crowds lining the road can get a good view of my naked, stretched body as we go by. Every bump and jostle along the journey is agony, as my wrists and ankles are tied taut with leather bindings, soaked in brine to cause them to shrink and cut into the flesh. There is no hope. There will be no mercy.

It goes with the context. If the condemned is still wearing clothes, shoes or sandals couls go. The more nude, the less footwear. Settings are paved roads, rough rocky terrain, a trail, pasture,.. whatever.

Now, if 'I could choose', I would prefer footwear, even when completely naked. I hate to arrive at the crucifixion site with already wrecked feet!

And although these sandals would hardly protect against more rough terrain, their contrasting with the overall nudity of the body, could provide a (false) last hope of safety and modesty.

Slaves go barefoot as a matter of course, historically and otherwise. It is good for everyone (even the slave). So I fail to see why the last walk would be any different. As for the ground: some cobblestone (initially), then gravel (likely), no?

Barefoot. I think slaves should always be barefoot. As for the ground it could be a mixture of a dirty road then gravel.

Barefoot. The scattered shards on the road and the sheer heat of the surface further intensify the torment of the condemned. His/her comfort should be the least of the executioners' concerns. For me, being barefoot is an essential part of the condemned's nakedness and vulnerability.

Agreed. #SafeCrux

 

[Kodos the Executioner]

Barefoot.

For me personally, I don't wear shoes, so I am barefoot 99% of the time anyway. So my feet are hardened from that, and rocks and dirt and broken glass don't bother me much. But, at the same time, I'm used to feeling whatever surface I'm on with my bare feet.

As a couple folks said earlier, historically barefoot would have been more likely for a slave on their way to be crucified anyway, so I would be used to whatever surface I was walking to my death (which might depend on the size and importance of the place I lived). But in this instance, on my way to the place of execution, I try to concentrate on the surface of the road, a feeling that I have felt countless times. I can feel the stones of the well-worn street and try to avoid the bits of debris, which is hard with the heavy patibulum on my shoulders. But the road distracts from my nakedness and the growing crowd. The road continues outside of town. But as I am pushed to the side, the feeling under my feet changes to dirt and grass, as I know we are close to my cross and I am taking the last steps I will ever take.

 

[PhilX]

Ugh, I often see in Jesus films him carrying the cross with sandals on & it's ridiculous. They would have gone early & certainly when they scourged & mocked him. Yes, the gospels say that they put his clothes back on after the stripping & dressing up with the purple robe - which could make some sense if there was some sort of rule about nudity within the city walls, but if he was dressed I doubt it would go all the way down to putting his sandals back on. I often wonder if at the scourging the soles of his feet might have been beaten just for the sadistic pleasure of making him walk carrying the heavy timber with lacerated feet. In those films with the actor wearing sandals (might that have been to save the actor's delicate feet?) once they are doing the feet-nailing the sandals have miraculously gone!

This might be a silly question, but why don’t you wear shoes anyway?

 

[prossesor]

I think it would be barefoot, since from when they undress you for the flogging, you no longer have shoes until your next life

 

[Xandi55]

It would have to be barefoot. I walk barefoot quite often so I would be able to handle it. Also with a patibulum on my shoulders. I`d like to have a long via crucis. Wearing a loincloth and the patibulum. Giving sandals to the person to be crucified is very rediculous. The soles of the feet can ad a lot of pain to the process of crucifixion and every executioner of the past will have known that. And executioners have made use of that I`m sure. A hard bastinado in the night before the crucifixion is also a cruel addition to the suffering.

 

[Crucified Survivor]

I think I'd be barefoot. I imagine myself being outdoors in the day time, I'm either fully naked or wearing just a loincloth, and I'm carrying the patibulum either on my shoulders with my arms wrapped around and tied to the back of it or on my back with my arms stretched out and tied to the front of it.
