Reminder of Christ’s Redemptive Sacrifice

Hanging a crucifix in your home is a constant way to remind yourself that the Lord Jesus Christ died for your sins. If you are having a bad day, or are getting down on yourself, it is a good way to remind yourself that you were created in God’s image and that God has a unique plan for you and your life. It is a way to remember that you are in God’s graces and that everything will be alright.

Guard Against Evil

The St. Benedict’s Crucifix is known to be used to ward off evil spirits. It is meant to be hung above doorways and some even seal these crucifixes into the foundation of their houses. Any doorway in which the cross is hung above is a threshold that evil spirits cannot cross. It is intended to be a constant silent prayer asking for the guidance of Christ and aversion of the devil and any other lurking spirits.

Teaching Children About Christian Faith

Hanging crosses and crucifixes at home can provide a powerful visual reminder of Christianity and its values for children. These religious symbols serve as constant visual cues, sparking curiosity and prompting questions about their meaning. As children observe and inquire about the cross or crucifix, parents and guardians have opportunities to engage them in discussions about the life of Jesus, his sacrifice, and the importance of faith.
