“”That’s because he’s not on the cross anymore. HE ROSE!””

We Catholic/Orthodox also have statues, stained glass and icons of the risen Christ.

Taking Christ off of every cross is a denial of the suffering and humility of Christ's sacrifice for us.

Scripture says this...

In 1 Cor 1:23 St. Paul said ... “But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews indeed a stumblingblock, and unto the Gentiles foolishness”

Seeing the Crucifix emphasizes our own sins and reminds us of His Sacrifice for that sin

Well, I can understand that, but it’s just one of the differences between our faiths. Love, M
