To be fair, burning to death is probably marginally less excruciating than crucifixion and people who claim to LIKE that Jezza guy can't get enough of celebrating THAT happening to him every spring ๐Ÿคท

Yeah, but this is celebrating the execution of a terrorist. It would be like if the U.S. had Bin Laden Day. It's tasteless if you think about it.

I'm pretty sure that, had he been real, the Romans would have considered that Jess character a terrorist too, though.

But yeah, it IS all tasteless lol

Yeah but tasteless + time = celebrated tradition
