Crucifixes and Crosses

Crucifixes and crosses call to mind the greatest act of love - Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. This sacrifice reconciles us with God and opens the doors to eternal life in Heaven. A crucifix is a daily visual reminder of this amazing gift, and also reminds us to bear our daily crosses with patience and love. Traditionally, crucifixes are displayed in places of prominence in a home, such as over door frames, above beds, or in another special place. Crucifixes and crosses can also be worn as a reminder of Christ's self-sacrifice.
