Throughout the world, images of the cross adorn the walls and steeples of churches. For some Christians, the cross is part of their daily attire worn around their necks. Sometimes the cross even adorns the body of a Christian in permanent ink. In Egypt, among other countries, for example, Christians wear a tattoo of the cross on their wrists. And for some Christians, each year during the ...
When did Christians start to depict images of Jesus on the cross? Larry Hurtado highlights an early Christian staurogram that sets the date back by 150–200 years.
Gospel accounts of Jesus’s execution do not specify how exactly Jesus was secured to the cross. Yet in Christian tradition, Jesus had his palms and feet pierced with nails. Even though Roman execution methods did include crucifixion with nails, some scholars believe this method only developed after Jesus’s lifetime.
Archaeological evidence regarding the location of Golgotha, where Jesus was crucified, suggests the Church of the Holy Sepulchre—or clues beneath the Church of the Redeemer—may point to the true site of Jesus’ crucifixion.
This second-century graffito of a Roman crucifixion from Puteoli, Italy, is one of a few ancient crucifixion images that offer a first-hand glimpse of Roman crucifixion methods and what Jesus’ crucifixion may have looked like to a bystander.

Cross-attention mask: Similarly to the previous two, it should mask input that the model "shouldn't have access to". So for a translation scenario, it would typically have access to the entire input and the output generated so far. So, it should be a combination of the causal and padding mask. 👏 Well-written question, by the way.
Train/val/test is a form of cross-validation. The question is comparing two methods of CV: k-fold vs "hold out". Decent resource here to read up on the various approaches. Using the test set for evaluation occurs prior to "finalizing" the model. You evaluate the model that was trained without the test set so that it is unbiased. You then discard that model and train a final model on all data ...
