Our family crucifix was passed on to me by my grandmother it was a wedding gift from her parents who also receivied it as a wedding gift. It’s over 100 years old and very special to me. The cross is dark wood, the Jesus is made of some kind of hard ivory -color composite material. (much like the material used for composite dolls. The cross is about 18" tall. He has a slight crack on one ankle but otherwise is in very good conditionI have no real objection to the crucifix of the risen Christ, but think that the traditional cross is a visual reminder of the painful sacrifice that Jesus made for us out of love.
When we were stationed in Florida it was one of the things I packed up with our photographs to take every time we evacuated for hurricanes… thank God we don’t need to do that anymore.
