Death by sawing

Sawing is a report of torture, and of execution of the many legends of the saints. Presumably, such a sentence has been but never imposed.

Implementation

After one of the legend of Saint Simon version of this should have been in Persia, where he preached the Gospel, sawed. The sawing should have been a part of the martyrdom of the Holy Sarvelos ( Sarbiles ). This was according to legend a magician in Edessa (now Şanliurfa, Turkey), who was tortured to Christianity by the Roman governor Lysias after his conversion. He was allegedly beaten with rods, pierced nails, fired flares and finally just cut up what he miraculously nothing could harm. Lysias finally had him beheaded. When sawing the undressed convicts would be upside down with her legs spread in a frame or stretched between two poles (also tree trunks ) on the wrists and ankles were tied. As an instrument of execution was allegedly a scharfzahnige, of two people guided pruning saw. This Executioner and assistant between the legs of the condemned would have recognized him and finally starting lengthwise in half sawn from the step, similar to the representation of Cranach's right.
