A crucifix (from Latin cruci fixus meaning "(one) fixed to a cross") is an image of Jesus on the cross, as distinct from a bare cross. The representation of Jesus himself the cross is referred to in English as the corpus (Latin for "body").
The crucifix is a principal symbol for many groups of Christians, and one of the most common forms of the Crucifixion in the arts. It is especially important in the Latin Church of the Catholic Church, but is also used in Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches, in Coptic, Armenian and other Oriental Orthodox churches, as well as in Methodist, Lutheran and Anglican churches, but less often in churches of other Protestant denominations, which prefer to use a cross without the figure of Jesus (the corpus). The crucifix emphasizes Jesus' sacrifice — his death by crucifixion, which Christians believe brought about the redemption of mankind. Most crucifixes portray Jesus on a Latin cross, rather than any other shape, such as a Tau cross or a Coptic cross.
A crucifix is a cross with a representation of Jesus Christ, as used in Christian symbolism.
Crucifix may also refer to:
Crucifix was an American hardcore punk band from Berkeley, California, active from 1980 to 1984. They were among the most popular acts of the San Francisco punk scene of the early 1980s. Crucifix was founded and fronted by Cambodian-born singer Sothira Pheng, whose family had fled the country when the Khmer Rouge seized power.
They were distinct among American underground bands for their strong D-beat musical characteristics and anarchist content. The band's debut 1983 full-length album "Dehumanization" on Corpus Christi Records, an offshoot of Crass Records, is often considered to be their definitive work and a cornerstone of political punk.
History
Crucifix was preceded by the short-lived band Subsidize Mess, featuring Jane Weems on Drums, Sothira on bass, Matt Borusso on guitar, and Christopher Douglas on vocals.
Crucifix was founded in 1980 and fronted by Cambodian-born singer Sothira Pheng, whose family had fled the country when the brutal Khmer Rouge seized power. The band's self-titled EP debuted on Universal Records of Berkeley in '81 and was followed by the "nineteen eighty-four" single on the band's own Freak Records in 1982. This consisted of Sothira Pheng Vocals, Matt Borruso Bass - Chris Douglas Drums & Jimmy Crucifix Guitar. The band's debut full-length "Dehumanization" on Corpus Christi Records (an offshoot of Crass Records) showcased their extremely fast and overdriven sound and is widely considered to be their definitive work and a cornerstone of political punk. Jake Smith played guitar on this LP. Later Drew Bernstein (founder of Lip Service Clothing) formerly of America's Hardcore replaced Smith on guitar. The band split up after a lengthy tour of US/Canada/Europe on July 13, 1984. A posthumous compilation album of singles and live tracks entitled "Exhibit A" was released on Kustomized Records in 1997. When Corpus Christi folded the album "Dehumanization" was later reissued by Southern Records.

Crucifix
by: Demon HunterWe will trample on our children til this world is flooded red, no boundary
For depravity, no silence for the dead, now weep for the life that you've
Lead. We will follow vacant voices into a shallow grave, reiterate the
Verses of some self consuming slave, now pay for the hell that you praise.
Every curse, lie, violation of our lives. Every careless shallow breath,
Corruption of our minds. All the blood and the shame, defamation of name.
The weight of a wicked world embodied on a thankless - crucifix. Embodied
On a blood soaked - crucifix.
The sacrament is broken, and all I see is red, the idols of humanity they
Tower overhead. Now weep for the life that you've lead, the gates have
Severed open, setting death upon this place, compelling us to hope in a
Revolting human race. Now pay for the hell that you praise.
Every curse, lie, violation of our lives. Every careless shallow breath,
Corruption of our minds. All the blood and the shame, defamation of name.
The weight of a wicked world embodied on a thankless - crucifix. Embodied
On a blood soaked - crucifix.
My - Eyes - Have - Seen.
Sometimes I close my eyes to escape this crooked place, it seems these
Fools will never learn, I guess it's easy to see the world the way I do,
The emptiness is a promise, the sin is just the proof.
Embodied on a thankless - crucifix.
