Artist's Comments

This is an odd crucifix in catholic churches, hanging from the ceiling of the cathedral using cables.

Usually they have latin crosses (the vertical bar twice as big as the horizontal one, and the Jesus' hands wide extended at shoulders level or a little higher); but this one is a greek cross (vertical and horizontal bars have the same length) with Jesus' hands are closer and at hips level).

Taken in Cuernavaca, Mexico.

Now, you know it. Orthodox guys use the greek cross and catholics use the latin cross.
