They stripped off his clothes and threw a scarlet military cloak about him. Weaving a crown out of thorns, they placed it on his head, and a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! -The 3rd Sorrowful Mystery

crucifix or risen Christ

Question from Dora Lauer on 3/25/2008:

many of the churches in the diocese of ... are replacing the crucifix with the risen Christ in the sanctuaries....is this right? Thank you

Answer by Rev. Mark J. Gantley, JCL on 3/25/2008:
The liturgical norms require that a crucifix (with corpus) be on or near the altar. An image of the risen Christ may also be displayed, but this should not be in place of the crucifix.
