The Passion, the story of the culmination of Jesus’ earthly presence, is truly part of “the greatest story ever told.” Its lessons remain with us as a powerful spiritual presence to guide us every day of our lives.

“We preach Christ crucified” as Paul stated powerfully in 1 Cor. 1:23, is the heart and soul of Christian teaching. No one can say for sure when the Crucifix began to be used as a Christian symbol, for Christianity was a persecuted religion in its infancy, and so as to protect the early adherents of the faith if the cross appeared, it was disguised, for example as an anchor,. But for at least the past 1,500 years, Christians around the world have fashioned, displayed, and worn the Crucifix as a means of making their faith public. The Corpus, or body of Jesus on the Cross, is the most visible sign of all of the nature of Jesus as both human and divine. The Crucifix take many forms, but all Christians who wear it remember and teach others that it is a memorial of the suffering and death of Jesus for the sins of the world.
