Choosing a Crucifix: Sizes, Styles and Where It HangsA crucifix is a cross with the body of Christ, the corpus, carved on it. Ours come in four main sizes. A pocket crucifix of 3 to 4 inches travels in a purse or a car. A wall crucifix of 7 to 13 inches suits a bedroom, a kitchen or an entryway. A standing crucifix of 13 to 19 inches sits on a mantel, a desk or an altar. Church and chapel crucifixes run from 21 inches up to extra large.

Styles you will find here: the classic Latin crucifix with a hand carved corpus, the budded crucifix with trefoil ends, the Jerusalem crucifix with the five fold cross, the crucifix with Holy Land keepsakes set into the base, the silver plated corpus on olive wood, and the 14 Stations crucifix with the Way of the Cross engraved along the arms.

Every crucifix is hand carved in Bethlehem from olive wood grown in the hills around the town, by Christian families who have done this work for generations. The grain is never the same twice, so no two crucifixes match. Each one ships from the USA with a certificate of authenticity, free shipping on orders over $59.
