catholic cross jewelry

What is the significance of this? Do "post-Easter" crosses have a place in your religious art and Jewelry too?




To Whom It May Concern: If you really want to completely lose my respect, post something anti-Catholic.

The significance is nearly as old as the faith itself -- it is a constant reminder of what Jesus suffered for us. It was also a teaching tool to show converts (who were not literate, or where language barriers existed) in the form of paintings and sculpture -- again, the horrible death Jesus suffered for us. It's also a unifying symbol; a way to recognize a brother or sister in Christ on sight.

"Post Easter" crosses (I am assuming you mean the Risen Christ, or a plain cross) can also be worn, kept in the house, etc -- but it really is the Crucifix that reminds us of His sacrifice.

Actually Priscilla, I read last year something from the Vatican about those Risen Christ crosses, and how they shouldn't be used. It'll be an easy internet search if you are interested.

This is a really dumb question but I'm not a Catholic yet:

for jewelry, do Roman Catholics wear just crosses or ones with Jesus crucified on them??

You can wear either (not a Rosary, we dont wear those we pray those).

If you choose a Crucifix and are asked why or why the Church has one on the wall, remember it's as easy as 1:23

1Corinthians 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews indeed a stumbling block, and unto the Gentiles foolishness:

Peace be with you.

I was baptized a Roman Catholic when I was very young, but for various reasons I haven't gone to church since I was ten years old.

Now that I am 25 years old, I am interested in forming a relationship with Christ again. I am looking into the Episcopal Church, because my beliefs are more aligned with them, as opposed to Catholicism (although the two are closely related).

I am curious as to the type of cross that an Episcopalian would wear around his/her neck. I know Roman Catholics have jewelry where Jesus is displayed on the cross, whereas Protestants wear jewelry where the cross stands alone.

What do Episcopalians wear? I know it seems silly to worry about a material object, but I want to make sure that I am as respectful as possible and do not make a grave religious mistake.

I appreciate any thoughtful and respectful input. Thank you in advance.

I am Protestant, and I wear a crucifix. No such thing as a grave religious mistake except for blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Wear what you like. God bless you.

I want to continuously wear a cross on my neck. I looked at many crosses with different material (gold, silver, diamond from jewelry stores, semiprecious gemstones, cheap metals), but I don't want any of them because I felt like Christ died on a wooden cross, not on expensive superficial gold. I want wood because it is a better symbols for Christ's suffering and his love for us.

I once saw a Catholic wearing a cross make out of wood and I think that's the type of cross I want.

Does anyone know where can I find one?

But some wood and make one.

Jesus was a carpenter, learn from him.

But make sure you get it really smooth before wearing it.

OK my mum recently became a full on devout catholic due to a new realtionship with a full on devout catholic. I have been looking for a present for her and thought I might get her a cross pendant. I am confused about the difference between catholic and christian symbols. Do Catholics wear a crucifix with jesus on it or just a plain cross? And is it appropriate to be covered in diamonds? This new man of hers is VERY strict (wont even let her watch Medium) so I don't want to get the wrong cross and then she doesnt wear it. Please help!
OK thats fine, but which cross do I buy!!??
And catholics are more into the jewellery and symbols arent they? They seem to like Mary a lot more than just plain christians do. Look I dont know much about religion because I am not religious so please forgive me if I say anything you think is stupid and just tell me which one is mroe suitable.
She has already read the bible, I think once is enough... Besides something shiny and gorgeous is a much better present.

Is that too diamondy??

Well, I'm a Catholic and probably a good bit older than your mum. I've worn simple crosses - all Christians like these, including Catholics - and crosses with the figure of Jesus on them (called crucifixes). I think mainly Catholics like that one. You should buy your mother whichever one you like, though the crucifix is a bit more 'Catholic'. Definitely avoid the one covered with diamonds - doesn't fit with our idea of Jesus!
