My crucifix is irreparably damaged and is beyond repair. I don’t know what to do with it. I want to treat it with the utmost respect but I can’t wear it any longer.
Not meaning to be repetitious, but yes, I’ve always been told if it’s something burnable you should burn it, then bury the ashes. If it’s not burnable then respectfully bury it.
I don’t know if you have a home alter or not, but if you do, you could place it there. I’ve had several smaller crucifixes over the years that broke and they have a home on my home alter.
Just a thought.
