Answer 3

For Christians, an empty crucifix is the symbol that serves as a reminder that Christ died for our sins, but he also rose three days later to give us life again. It is a joyful symbol. In Catholicism, the crucifix is usually seen carrying the likeness of Christ and has the more somber effect of reminding the congregation of the terrible price paid for their sin.
