Both images are symbolic of an instrumental event in Christ's life, but they are just that and not Christ Himself. They're symbolic of him but obvious not the same as Him. I think most of the folks wearing a crucifix or who have a permanent manager display out understand that. Sort of like when someone seeks to sum up their religious philosophy by saying that they focus on the cross doesn't mean the wooden structure itself but as sort of symbolic shorthand for focusing on Christ and His message.
I don't mean to pick on you about this but when I saw that you got me thinking. And we all know how dangerous that is and fortunately how rare it occurs.
