Placement of crucifixes in the home

Thanks everyone.

What about the washroom? I'm guessing no images or anything.


It's a great idea to do so. Sinful things can happen in there. Most likely of places in a house for people to die as well (statistically).


Good points. So, crucifixes and images in the washroom as in the rest of the home? So far in the washroom I have 7 Miraculous Medals in the shape of a cross, where they can be seen when looking into the mirror.


I have no issues with crucifixes in the bathroom, I just think there are certain places one might not want to place them in there, out of respect (not really a place you can venerate the cross in a dignified manner), also the humidity from the shower and such will do harm to the object--rust and tarnish.

A small one above the door or one carefully placed on a particular wall, depending on the circuмstances might be more tasteful. There is always Catholic art that would serve to decorate the room and edify which might be more appropriate. Again, I wouldn't hang anything too expensive or antique in there, just due to the moisture.
