St. Thomas More
Coralville, Iowa
The corpus is 28" from fingertip to fingertip and over 30" tall. It is set into a radiating cruciform framework which serves as the processional cross. The processional cross doubles as the sanctuary crucifix during Mass and is part of a larger structure which combines a 14' tall cruciform framework into which is set a solid walnut cross. This walnut cross becomes the cross of veneration on Good Friday. Thus, the entire sanctuary crucifix is complete only during Mass, the sacramental realization of the redemptive action of Christ.
