Ceiling Cross
Hanging above the altar is the large crucifix (cross with Christ's body shown) suspended from the ceiling. Some new visitors to the church may be more familiar with an empty cross, indicating that Jesus overcame death through the resurrection. However, the image of Christ on the Cross equally celebrates the triumph over death and sin. It reminds us of God's infinite love - the Son's willingness to die for us. "Greater love Jesus on the Cross is a 'sign of contradiction' as St. Paul, writes, “For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God” (1 Corinthians. 1:18) |
