It is for protection and blessing; some people should do some
research before 'insulting' someone elses beliefs, it is not
for "idolatry' but for inspiration.

it is customary for Catholics to hang a crucifix somewhere in their home. The reason one might choose to hang one on their entry door might be to show their visitors that they are entering a Catholic household.

Jesus is the so called lamb of god who shed his blood when he was crucified. when the Jews were slaves in Egypt the angel of death passed over all the houses and would take the first born son from the Egyptians this was the tenth plague.God told the Jews to kill a lamb and smear its blood on there door post and the angel of death would pass over them. just as the put the blood of the lamb above there door we put the lamb of God above our door. i guess it is more so for protection.

It helps to keep the vampires away.
It also serves as notice to the J.W.s that this is a Catholic home so there is no use wasting time trying to sell Watchtowers.
If you slam the door too hard, it will fall on your head and kill you.

For many reasons but also mainly to remind us and all that this is a Catholic home. I also have one in every room in my house.

They do it so God will bless the house and all who enter.
