These Agonizing Crucifixes are also proudly handmade here in the USA from American Red Oak. This stunning hardwood has the typical pronounced oak grain but with a very soft golden, pink or peach blush to the wood. The corpuses are hand-cast and hand-painted here in America. Each one is uniquely different due to the coloring of the wood, the pattern of the grain, and the hand painted features. No two are exactly alike. This crucifix measures 17" tall and 9" wide. Our Lord said, "I promise to protect any house where this crucifix is against any destructive power in the hour of darkness." Grade 2 Crucifixes have small flaws that cannot be seen when hanging on a wall across a room. Grade 1 Crucifixes do not have these flaws.
