The Deep-Rooted Significance of Crucifixes in Christian Families

  • Symbol of Faith and Devotion: the crucifix is simply a representation of the crux of the Gospel. For many people, displaying or wearing one is a daily affirmation of their faith, for some, an outward statement and a call to live according to Biblical principles and family legacy.
  • Centerpiece of Family Rituals and Celebrations: In many Christian homes, these historical faith icons are an important part of milestone celebrations such as baptisms, first communions, weddings, and funerals. They are used decoratively but also may be presented as meaningful gifts.
