Part 2- Biblical Allusions: The Crucifixion

The Crucifixion   Biblical Allusion   Source: Matthew 27

• Jesus was publicly beaten
• He was mocked and struck in the head
• A crown of thorns was placed on his head and he was stripped naked
• Stake nails were driven in his wrists and was fastened to the cross
• Self-sacrifice

Commentary: This allusion has to deal with self-sacrifice and enduring pain for the ones you love. This allusion works best for the example of Narnia. Aslan, the lion, sacrifices himself so the children don't get injured or killed.
