Processional Crosses - Crucifixes - by PEMA WoodcarvingsEach processional crucifix includes the heavy wooden base, pole, and cross corpus. These wood crucifixes are designed to be carried in processions on Holy Days, or to be carried into the sanctuary at the start of the worship service by a crucifer. The crucifer may recess with the cross during the closing hymn. Church custom dictates whether or not the processional cross will be carried to the center of the church for the reading of the Holy Gospel. In
