[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 358982, member: 2844"]I was led to believe it could be called a cross in either case, with or without, just that it is only a crucifix when there was a Christ figure on it. From cruci fixus, attached to the cross. At least that's how we theologians called them, cross the general thing, crucifix a specific type. But theologians have a very long history of getting things wrong.;) Maybe it is one of those European things. Here is the sketch by st John of the Cross of his vision of the cross (with Christ) he was called after: [IMG]https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcRJLOakQBWhnHt4juszyuzV38Vln8jHcVWCI5_7RbxNp-4WIIDovw&sp=b74c5481fd0102c1424f055ecf097393&anticache=101615[/IMG] The sketch and the vision inspired Dalí to make his famous painting. St John of the Cross was an artist as well as a priest and mystic, his mystic writings are very poetic.[/QUOTE]
