Probably every single picture ever made about Our Lord Jesus Christ has His hands, His palms that is, as being the ones pierced by nails, NOT the wrists. All the Saints who have received the visible stigmata are depicted as having their palms pierced as well. Padre Pio had his palms pierced too.

So how come they say that the Shroud of Turin looks like it has the wrists pierced? Most people contend that, but i think that if you look closely, it is still the palms that are pierced, not the wrists.

Some also say that if the palms were the ones that were pierced, then it "wouldn't work" because of the weight of the person etc. and that nailing the wrists is more secure and stable.

But shouldn't you die quickly if they nail your wrists? Wouldn't it be the same as slitting your wrists?

And if indeed the Shroud has the wrists nailed, then every single painting and picture ever made and the tradition of the Church has been dead wrong, because the Shroud is definitely authentic.

I don't see how some people can believe that the wrists were nailed and not the palms, and i have seen even traditionalists believe that.

The liberals, the Marixists, the Frankfurt School people, NASA, etc., those types started all this nonsense about the wounds in the wrists not the hands. It is because they like to create confusion, and if there is confusion, they have more opportunity to create doubt. It's a similar method to Galileo and Einstein. They create confusion, and critique and criticize tradition, common sense, the truth, and the Bible, and then say "we no know" to the confused.

I've never believed it was not the hands. Do you think the hands are so weak they cannot support a man being crucified? There are 27 bones in each hand, and they can do a lot of work and serve many purposes. They can certainly support any victim of crucfixion.

Would any of these idiots who say it was the wrists, not the hands, becasue the hands are too weak, like to come and try it out ... for money or love of science? If they want to find out, and sign a waiver, I'd test it on them for certainty's sake. I'll take good notes and be completely objective. Quid est vertitas?

It would be a better science paper than something from the UN or NASA. I think you could nail somebody to the wall by the hands, and he'd stay up there for hours and hours and hours.

His upper arms were probably tied or bound to the Cross, which would have supported most of the weight.  His Wounds would still be on the hands.  If you think about crucifixion, much of the torture comes from being defenceless, so the nailing of hands was likely a symbolic means of showing the complete defencelessness of the condemned in the face of the law.
