Hi,
Query to members of different denominations of christian background:
Do you have any typical only for your denomination images of Jesus Christ?
I mean images being displayed in your homes, religious buildings etc., etc.
Please, publish them on the forum, if you have any.

In Catholicism we have the crucifix. I'm not sure this is a completely Catholic image but I know most protestant Chrurches have a plain cross, whereas we depict Christ Crucified. Also as you may know Mary is especially important so we have many images of Her cradling the infant Christ. During the feast of the sacred heart we usually meditate on an image of christ holding a crowned heart that signifies His High love. And, of course, like a few other churches we always depict Him with a halo, although this is not exclusive to the image of Christ.

I have an icon depiticting Mary and the Christchild and the grown Christ on a little wooden tablet that closes on hinges. What is interesting about it is that it uses Orthodox artistic style, where all characters apart from the grown Christ tilt their head to the side in supplication.

Yes. In ours he is always depicted as a extremely small (about 2 3/4 Inches) half black half Chinese professional soccer player!

Why do the Catholics include Mary in worship?

I, folks. I'm just visiting. The prayer stick is coming along, but like everything, it is far more complicated than when I started. I'll be supporting 5 different languages, 6 different religions, in addition to several audio routines.

We do not worship Mary at all. We simply give her honor and veneration. Much like you would honor a person in high ranking authority on earth. We worship God alone and no one else.
