Crosses with Christ
Crucifixes is the plural of crucifix, a representation of Jesus Christ on the cross—distinct from a bare cross, which lacks the figure.
Crucifixes appear in Catholic and Orthodox churches, homes, and as jewelry.
The image serves as a devotional object and reminder of Christ's sacrifice: Crucifixes hung on every wall of the convent.
