Do presbyterians wear crucifixes

Answer 1

No, Presbyterians do not generally wear crucifixes, although there is no rule prohibiting crucifixes. Presbyterians and other Protestants are more likely to wear crosses that do not display the body of Christ. The underlying theology reflects the Protestant focus on the Resurrection rather than on the Crucifixion.

Answer 2

Presbyterians may wear crucifixes if so desired. Traditionally, Presbyterians, like most Protestants, use some style of cross with no depiction of the Body of Christ rather than a crucifix, because Protestant theology emphasizes the Resurrected Christ, as opposed to the Crucified Lord. Presbyterian confessions declare that Jesus died one time and is no longer dead, so the empty Cross tends to be chosen as a more accurate representation of the faith. Because of its Scottish history, Presbyterians often choose to wear the Celtic Cross.

Answer 3

There's no rule about it, but most prefer to wear an empty cross rather than a crucufix. It is a matter of personal choice, and by no means compulsory.

Answer 4

No, the crucifix is used in the Catholic faith. Methodists use a plain cross.
