A crucifix over every door of ingress and over every bedroom door.

You can at least do a small 1" clothing lapel pin and push it right into the drywall over a door.

In addition to this the outside of your front door should be RED to symbolize the sacrifice.

Over the windows in the main rooms as there is not room over the doors. In the bedrooms I put them where they will be seen most of the time.

We followed the very sophisticated method of placing them wherever the previous homeowner already had nails in the wall. :smile:

I seriously doubt that there is any universal tradition. There may be ethnic, or even family traditions, although I haven't heard of any, beyond putting a crucifix above beds.

My husband and I have one over our bed, our duaghter's crib, and above the guest bed. We have one in our family room above the window, and a painting of the Last Supper in our kitchen.

Thanks. I'm interested in any traditions - ethnic, local, family - the more traditions the better! I have zero! I'm the only Catholic in my family!
