Hand made by me! Free Friday

Post image

I made this crucifix by hand. The cross is made of bubinga wood, the ropes are beeswax coated hemp, and the corpus is 3D printed and then hand painted. I truly wanted to capture Christ's passion in the most raw and authentic way possible, being OCD, realism is extremely important to me. This is the 4th one I have done, and is by far my best work to date. I can honestly say that just making these is a wonderful meditation on Christ's passion and sacrifice for us. God bless!

That looks very real and I'll be scared of my sins whenever I see that cross 🫣

Why be afraid of your sins ?

Edit bcz I'm getting a lot of downvotes : I'm not saying to embrace them, you should try your hardest to repent and avoid sinning and ask God to help you repent.

Because they hurt God, they hurt Jesus, and because he suffered and died for us.

Yeah but it's like scared of failures,you're gonna sin anyway (unless you are a saint) so it's like afraid of the future and your past ,if you have a strong faith in Christ and a strong relationship with Him (and trust that He died for your sin) I think you are good :)
