| Crucifix Question from Lori Ann Gumerson on 08-14-2008: |
Hello! I have recently seen at a antique store, a beautiful crucifix with many symbols around it. Some of the symbols include a ladder, a rooster, a lantern a broom, a spear and many more. Is this crucifix used for special reason. Would it be a Catholic crucifix?Thank-you! |

Glory to Jesus Christ! Lori, The Crucifix you are referring to would be a Catholic Crucifix but most likely it is done in the style of Eastern iconography. --Fr. Thomas J. Loya, STB, MA. www.ewtn.com |
