Great as usual. Being the un-bloody sacrifice of Mt Calvary repeated it amazes me how some Churches do no have a decent, viewable crucifix near the altar.

it amazes me how some Churches do no have a decent, viewable crucifix near the altar. Or any crucifix at all! That's against the GIRM and I battled with my former pastor to have, at least the processional cross displayed during Mass. I tried to rally the parishioners with a petition but they "liked it the way it is". Our Maronite Church has a beautiful, classical Crucifix directly behind the altar, with spotlights shining on it :-). The Tabernacle is to the left and the Book of the Gospels to the right - all illuminated with spotlights. It is heaven on earth.
