Wood crucifixes
A wooden crucifix combines the image of Christ crucified with a natural material whose tone and grain vary from one design to another. Made for wall display or standing use, it accompanies prayer and recalls the Passion of Christ within the home. It forms part of our collection of Catholic crucifixes.
Natural variations in wood
Depending on the wood and finish, a wooden crucifix may show different tones, grain patterns and appearances. These variations affect its visual character without changing its religious meaning.
A different finish from metal
Wood provides a more natural and warm appearance than a metal crucifix. Our article on the history and meaning of the Catholic crucifix provides further context.
