Of course not, the crucifix is simple and plain, it is not adorned with wreaths or flowers, and it is not the focus of worship.

It is not taken down of feast days and paraded around the neghborhood, nor is it constantly touched in the hope that it would produce a miracle.

That's good. The focus of your worship should be God. The Crucifix should simply focus your mind on worship of him.
