How to place a crucifix in your home according to the teachings of Padre Pio

Padre Pio gave special attention to where a crucifix should be placed in the home.

1. At the Entrance

The front door represents everything that enters the home—people, news, and experiences. A crucifix placed here helps:

  • Entrust the household to God
  • Offer a moment of remembrance when entering or leaving
  • Ideally, place it above the door or on a nearby wall at eye level.

2. In the Master Bedroom

  • Nighttime was seen by Padre Pio as a moment of trust and surrender.
  • Place the crucifix where it is visible from the bed
  • Offer your day, worries, and intentions before sleeping

3. In Children’s Rooms

  • Children are especially receptive to spiritual symbols.
  • A crucifix reassures them that they are protected
  • Teach simple prayers such as “Jesus, I trust in You” or “Thank You for today”
  • Show them how to treat the crucifix with respect

4. In the Living Room

As the heart of family gatherings and conversations, the living room is a meaningful place for the crucifix.

  • It encourages respectful dialogue
  • It reminds guests that the home values peace and faith

5. In the Kitchen or Dining Area
