Cross with Christ
A crucifix is a cross with a representation of Jesus Christ's body on it, central to Catholic and Orthodox Christian worship and iconography.
It differs from a plain cross by depicting the crucified figure.
Crucifixes appear in churches, homes, and as jewelry: She clutched the crucifix around her neck.
