Most of the large Corpus of Christ statues found on CatholicShop.com come standard with a 3-hole mounting bracket on the back, but you can choose to have our craftsmen add threaded rebar when the statue is made for easier mounting to a cross or even alone on a wall. The rebar also gives the statue extra durability.

Many of our customers make their own wood cross or purchase one from a local artisan before mounting the corpus. Should you wish to do the same, we've compiled instructions (below) to help make the process easier.

🛠️ Required Tools and Materials

    •    Corpus with rebar pins, washers/nuts (included with corpus)
    •    Power drill (with a bit matching the rebar diameter)

📋 Step-by-Step Installation Guide

1. Align and Mark the Cross

    •    Lay the cross flat on a level surface.
    •    Place the corpus face-up on top of it.
    •    Center the corpus perfectly on the beams.
    •    Mark the exact rebar entry points with a pencil. 

2. Drill the Mounting Holes

    •    Remove the corpus from the cross.
    •    Select a drill bit matching the rebar's diameter.
    •    Drill straight down at the marked points.
    •    Keep the drill perfectly upright while cutting. 
    •    Blow out the remaining dust. 

3. Mount the Corpus and Brace

    •    Align the corpus rebar over the holes.
    •    Push the rebar down into the holes firmly.
    •    Wipe away any excess epoxy immediately.
    •    Secure the rebar with the washers/nuts provided to the back of the cross.
