EnglishMetal crucifixes
A metal crucifix depicts Christ crucified on a cross made wholly or partly from metal, depending on the design. Made for hanging or display, it accompanies prayer and recalls the Passion of Christ within the home. It forms part of our collection of Catholic crucifixes.
Metal finishes and relief details
Metal allows designs ranging from understated crucifixes to more detailed models featuring a raised figure of Christ, an INRI inscription or decorative elements. Tone and finish vary according to the individual design and materials used.
An alternative to a wooden crucifix
Metal provides a different appearance from a wooden crucifix without changing the religious meaning of the object. Our article on the history and meaning of the Catholic crucifix provides further context.
