Hello,

I have a crucifix on the wall in my room where I often go for prayer. This morning it occurred to me that I might also want to a hang a tablet of the 10 Commandments as well as perhaps a picture of the Virgin Mary with Child. This way I would have God’s Holy Law, His Holy Sacrifice, and his Holy Church represented on my wall. Does anyone have a problem from a Catholic point of view with someone hanging a decorative/ornamental tablet of the 10 Commandments for devotional purposes?

Thanks!

Nope. We have the ten commandments up in our “school room” at home as well as an icon of the holy family, the beatitudes, scriptural verses and a San Damiano crucifix. We want the kids to remember that faith is the foundation of our lives and those things are the foundation of our faith.
 
Thanks! Based on suggestions, it’s possible that I may slightly alter my choices to be:

1.) Crucifix (representing Christ’s Holy Sacrifice)
2.) Icon of Christ the Teacher (representing Christ’s Holy Teaching)
3.) Icon of the Holy Family (representing Christ’s Holy Church)
 
Personally, if I were choosing an icon to represent the Church, I would choose a depiction of Pentecost. I don’t know the traditional usages, though.
