Wall Crucifixes for the Catholic Home
Catholic homes have long kept a crucifix on the wall: above the bed, over a doorway, near the table where the family eats. Hung where it will be seen every day, it keeps Christ’s love at the center of ordinary life.
Our wall crucifixes range from a 4.25-inch petite metal crucifix for a child’s room to hand-carved wooden pieces. The Italian Wooden Crucifix is hand-carved in Italy, and the Ornate Crucifix is carved from solid wood by a family workshop in Ukraine. You’ll also find walnut and oak, the San Damiano crucifix St. Francis prayed before, and crucifixes bearing the St. Benedict medal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where should a crucifix hang in a Catholic home?
Many families hang one in each bedroom, often above the bed, and another near the entryway or in the main living space. Above a doorway is also traditional.
What size wall crucifix should I choose?
A petite crucifix of about 4 to 8 inches suits a child’s room, a hallway or the space above a doorway. A crucifix of about 10 inches or larger holds its own above a bed or on a larger wall.
Should a new crucifix be blessed?
Many Catholics ask a priest to bless a new crucifix before hanging it, setting it apart as a sacramental for the home.
