Christians believe that through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the relationship between God and humans that was once broken by sin, is restored and opens the way to eternity with Him when we die. The death of Jesus is therefore of great importance to the Christian. As Jesus was executed by being nailed to a cross (the normal method of crucifixion for common criminals used by the Roman Empire in that time) the image of him nailed to that cross - the crucifix - acts as as a focal point to help us worship him. The crucifix (the cross holding the dying figure of Christ) is found more often in the Roman Catholic or Orthodox churches as they emphasise Christ's death. However, in the Protestant denominations, emphasis is placed more on the resurrection and so an empty cros - symbolising the risen Christ - is more often found.
