Research: Crucifix

In our film we want a symbol that is carried or worn by Catholics to include in our film, so that the viewers know that the family is Catholic. One way in which we could do this is by them wearing crucifix's, as a crucifix can be worn as a physical symbol I then went and did some research on crucifix's and found out that it is a major symbol of the Christian faith and that it is a image of Jesus on the cross and emphasises Jesus' sacrifice. It is especially important in the Catholic church as in general the Protestant Church prefer a plain cross without the corpus unlike the Catholic church as it is a consistant reminder of Jesus' suffering.
