I only converted this year as some will know. Is it wrong to have a crucifix in the bathroom? I bought a lovely painted Romero cross for my new home and want to put it in my downstairs bathroom. Is that ok? Also what is a pastor ? We just have parish priests here in the Uk. I always thought a pastor was an evangelical thing ?
 
Yes, it’s okay to put a crucifix in the bathroom. We need to be reminded of Jesus in the bathroom as much as in any other room of the house.

A pastor is the priest in charge of a parish. All pastors are priests, but not all priests are pastors. Some are vicars or hold other offices above the parish level, in the Diocese.

I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to have a Crucifix in the bathroom. The bathroom is considered one of the most dangerous rooms in the house, so not a bad idea. 🙂

As far as the term pastor I think it gets used interchangeably. I used to get confused by us using that term as well since I’m used to priests but at the end of the day we know who they’re talking about.

Have you thought about having a Crucifix wall? My uncle has a bunch of them hanging along the staircase at his house. It’s awesome.

Take care and God Bless.
 
Pray for a friend who just had a very tough health issue. And pray for my grandmother. And for my Bishop.
 
Ooh I’d love that ! I want a statue of archangel Michael stabbing the devil on my second floor so I feel that will be gnarly enough to let people see we are a Catholic household lol but I do love my Romero crosses they’re so simple and beautiful
 
If you bought a “lovely painted” one, the bathroom is not going to be a good place because the moisture may harm the paint, unless your bathroom is really big.
 
There’s still going to be some humidity due to the toilet and I presume a sink. You can try it if you want, I’d just keep an eye on it to make sure the finish isn’t being harmed.
 
No it’s a new build so lots of insulation. But yes we will do 🙂 where’s your old avatar? Miss the pink bear xxx
 
It’s winter. Pink bear is asleep in the dark den. Hence all black.

Perhaps if we all make it to spring, a bear will come out of the den. Like maybe at Easter
 
The worst part of the morning for me - is when I step into the bathroom - at 3:45 am -
and put the shower on - etc -
I usually say Hail Mary’s over and over - it’s a vital time of my day -
anyways - I recently put a small poster on the wall ’ desiderata ’ -
recite it - then step into the shower with my Hail Mary’s -
I love the idea of a crucifix there !
 
Pastor is the Latin word for shepherd.
Think of the pasture where sheep graze.
The image is often used to describe a religious leader’s relationship to his flock.
 
The Melkite church near where I live has an icon in the restroom in the parish hall. I don’t think it’s wrong, it’s entirely up to you.
 
My bathroom is the most catholic room in my home. The wife is not catholic, so my prayer corner with my icons, crucifix and statues is in my bathroom. There’s never a bad time to lift our heart and mind to heaven, even in the bathroom.
