Wall Crucifix
For members of the Catholic and Orthodox churches, the
crucifix is the essential symbol of faith. While the empty
cross memorializes Christ's death and resurrection, a
crucifix is a reminder of Christ's sacrifice. Either as a
gift or for your own use, a beautiful wall crucifix is a
devoted expression of faith and is certain to become a most
personal and treasured keepsake in any home. Read more about our Wall Crucifix

The Orthodox Crucifix is made up of two horizontal lines and one diagonal line that intersect a vertical pole holding the corpus of Jesus. The upper bar of the Orthodox Crucifix represents the phrase "INRI", which translates to "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews," a phrase placed on Jesus' crucifix by Pontius Pilate.
The lower diagonal bar of the Orthodox Crucifix represents both the foot rest that Jesus placed his feet upon and the two theives that were crucified with Jesus - the higher end for the Good thief (also known as St. Dismas) and the lower end for the unrepentant thief.
