Meaningful and spiritual

For anyone familiar with the Old Testament, the cross actually represents the culmination of prophecy dating back to the Garden of Eden. God had always promised to send Jesus to suffer and die, taking the punishment that we deserve for our sins. This is what makes crosses & crucifixes wall murals such a symbolic decoration. Whether it is your home, recreational space or even the office, crosses & crucifixes wall murals will undoubtedly have an impact on anyone who sets foot in your decorated interiors. For Christians, the cross has another deep meaning in a sense that they understood Christ’s death on the cross to be "completed" by God’s raising him from the dead three days later. This Resurrection was a sign of Christ’s "victory" over sin and death. This type of fulfillment is what can also be evoked through the decorating with crosses & crucifixes wall murals by Photowall.

The impact of crosses & crucifixes wall murals

To most Christians, the cross represents the greatest sacrifice ever made and the assurance of salvation. Crucifixion was a despised method of execution reserved only for the worst criminals, but Jesus chose to do so and give up everything for humanity in the ultimate sacrifice. "Crucifixion" is a work of art that really displays what He did for mankind. What crosses & crucifixes wall murals really represent is the deepest of love, perhaps more for the believers even if every person probably understands this type of offering somehow. "Three" is a sad but beautifully rendered crosses & crucifixes wall mural that can shine a light on this. Crosses & crucifixes wall murals such as this can remind us to reflect and live better lives.

An important distinction

The main difference between a cross and a crucifix is the corpus or body of Christ on a crucifix. Some Protestants object to the crucifix because of the belief that Christ is resurrected, not still on the cross and thus, He should not be depicted that way. In this case we must say, to each his own, even if just through the usage of crosses & crucifixes wall murals. It is also understandable that for non-Christians, these symbols can seem odd, at the very least since the cross can be seen as an instrument of death. With the passage of time the cross ultimately became an instrument of salvation and even a symbol of triumph, as you can also see in some crosses & crucifixes wall murals. Catholics use both symbols frequently. While the crucifix holds a prominent place in most churches, you are just as likely to see a simple cross in use by Catholics wherein many choose to wear a cross as a symbol of their faith. It is up to you how you display your crosses & crucifixes wall murals for that matter. Even a simple motif like "Church Sign" can really have tremendous impact on your interior design.
