The Crucifix Relates to the Feast that we Celebrate Today, the Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe (TA) One of our most important symbols is the crucifix. And yet, what many do not realize is that the crucifix itself has an interesting and important history. Because crucifixion as a form of capital punishment was not something anybody was proud of. And it took the Christian faithful quite some time before there was a comfort zone with wearing the cross or depicting the cross, let alone with Christ on it. . . . the Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe And the experience that led the church to develop its symbolism of the crucifix relates to the feast that we celebrate today, the Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. Because the faithful, laboring under persecution, and then living in areas where there was no persecution, were conscious of also of living under the authority of emperors and kings. And faced with this, with these totalizing claims, the Holy Father understood it is important for us to pause and announce to the world that there is a king, there is a ruler with authority over all nations, not merely one. Understand the history of the Cross and the special Feast Day: Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. Understand how it impacts our own spiritual journey!
