A crucifix (an image of Christ crucified on a cross) is the main religious [[symbol]] for Catholics, Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox, but most Protestant Christians prefer to use a cross without the figure (the "corpus" - Latin for "body") of Christ. The term crucifix derives from the Latin crucifixus or cruci fixus, itself the past participle passive of crucifigere or cruci figere, "crucify", "fix to a cross."[4][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion]
