This was the day that the centurions were put to death, each centurion marched off on his horse with his followers and was chased down by other bands of men, three times they dragged the centurion off his horse and twice he escaped. The third time that her was caught he was dragged over to a gallows in the center of the court yard and hung symbolically by his hat.
