The crucifix captures forever Christ’s last moment of humanity among us, and his ultimate sacrifice. I find it beautiful (not a Catholic here)
Crucifix or empty cross, either way is an enduring symbol but only a symbol, and a common one at that
Agreed.
A reminder of the suffering Jesus endured for us, which we do tend at times to take for granted, or even forget. It’s human nature. We need reminders sometimes.
