The New Age crucifix - Not.
This is an example of the so-called New Age crucifix that was reported on Spirit Daily, which I commented on in my previous post. Quick! Emily Rose! Call the exorcist!
The crucifix, obviously an older style, as it appears here could be of French design, maybe even bastardized Celtic, or simply Italian Renaissance decorations - whatever its origins, it is NOT New Age. The standard behind the corpus, with the snake, clearly symbolizes the pole Moses erected in the desert, mounting a bronze serpent atop - as God commanded, which prefigured the crucifixion of Christ on the cross. Read your Bibles! (Numbers 21: 4-9 and John 3:14)
To use St. Teresa’s words, “I don’t understand these fears, ‘The devil! The devil!’, when we can say, ‘God! God!’, and make the devil tremble.” - Life, Ch 25,22.
