Mystical crucifix - in fine arts an image of Jesus on the cross having connection with Christian mysticism, used for various devotional practices: prayer, contemplation, meditation, etc. Such crucifixes differ from representational and narrative (historical) representations and are usually independent works. The term mystical crucifix mainly refers to freestanding crucifixes, independent of a larger structure (e.g., altar retable) or narrative (e.g., pictorial cycles). Separating such a crucifix from the liturgical space and placing it in a separate space (e.g., in a separate chapel at the church) allowed for a deeper relationship between the person praying and the subject (here Christ). One of the devotional representations.
