Remember Christ
Handmade and Hand-designed Catholic Art!
“All men and women are entrusted with the task of crafting their own life: in a certain sense, they are to make of it a work of art, a masterpiece.”
Religious Art That Brings Us Closer to Christ!
This striking crucifix, inspired by The Passion of the Christ film directed by Mel Gibson and starring Jim Caviezel, invites deep meditation on the suffering and sacrifice of our Lord.
Handcrafted with a reclaimed wood cross (20" tall by 10" wide) and a resin corpus cast from an original sculpture, each crucifix is part of the Memento Christi hand-designed collection. Every piece is prayerfully hand-painted with premium paints and finished with extreme attention to detail, ensuring no two are ever exactly alike.
The INRI sign bears all three traditional languages—Hebrew, Greek, and Latin—just as it was placed above Our Lord at Golgotha.
The image depicts Christ in His final moments, crying out in fulfillment of Scripture:
“Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” — “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46)
Every detail draws the heart to prayer: His torn skin, the tightly pressed crown of thorns, one eye swollen shut while the other lifts toward the heavens in longing for the Father’s consolation.
This crucifix is especially suited for those who wish to meditate on the Passion of Christ and enter more deeply into the mystery of His sacrificial love. It makes a powerful devotional piece for the home, chapel, or as a unique gift for someone seeking to unite their own sufferings with Christ’s.
Each cross is made from reclaimed hardwood over 100 years old, giving every piece its own story, character, and enduring strength.
Cross size:
20” x 10”
Note: Because our crosses are crafted from reclaimed and repurposed wood, variations in wood species, grain, texture, and overall appearance are to be expected. Each piece may include both natural and man-made characteristics—such as knots, grain variations, nail holes, markings, wear, blemishes, or even remnants of the wood’s former use. These features are not considered imperfections; rather, we believe they tell the story of the material’s past and contribute to the unique character, authenticity, and individuality of every cross.

Revive a beautiful old Catholic tradition with the Pillow Crucifix. For generations, families placed a small crucifix on their pillow after making the bed, and removed it before sleep, beginning and ending each day with Christ. This simple act of devotion sanctifies ordinary life — waking and resting — by turning it into prayer.
Each crucifix is carefully crafted:
The corpus is a 3D resin replica of an original hand-sculpted piece, faithfully capturing every detail.
Every corpus is individually hand-painted, ensuring a unique finish full of character and reverence.
The cross is made from wood and measures about 4.5" in length, a perfect size for a pillow or bedside table.
With each crucifix comes a prayer card containing a morning prayer (to pray after making one’s bed and placing the crucifix) and a night prayer (to pray before removing it at bedtime).
This devotion is a wonderful way to:
Begin your day by offering it to Christ.
End your day in reflection, resting in Him.
Teach children the rhythm of daily prayer.
Give a meaningful gift to newlyweds, college students, or anyone seeking to root their life in faith.
In a world that often forgets Christ in the everyday, the Pillow Crucifix is a gentle reminder to keep Him at the center of life — morning and night.

Testimonials
“Fr. Mark was in awe when he opened the crucifix.”
My family was looking for something special and unique to gift my brother on the first anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. We knew that we wanted something meaningful, and that would serve as a reminder of the amazing gift that is his vocation - Jacob delivered that and more! Working with him on the planning process was very easy. I gave him a general idea of what we wanted, and gave him license from there. He maintained frequent contact and updates as the project progressed, and sent multiple photos in the different stages. Fr. Mark was in awe when he opened the crucifix, and I know that it's a gift he will hold onto and pray with in the many years to come.
“The crucifix is absolutely a stunning work of art.”
“There is a crucifix called The Miraculous Crucifix of Limpias in Santander, Spain. For some reason, I'm drawn to this crucifix and the miracles associated with it. I have been wanting to go and visit but as a disabled Veteran the terrain there would make it extremely difficult. So i've been looking and couldn't find a replica anywhere so I contacted Jacob of Memento Christi to commission one for me. I couldn't be more pleased with his work. The crucifix is absolutely a stunning work of art. I am so very grateful to Jacob for his talent!”
