A question concerning religious medals

[jtodisco]

So for the longest time the only jewelry I wore (religious or otherwise) has been a crucifix. But recently I have been given a medal for my patron saint and I have also bought a Saint Benedict medal. Not to mention I would very much like to have a miraculous medal too as I have a strong devotion to the Blessed Mother.

Here’s the problem. I can’t wear the medals all on one chain necklace because they end up all bunched together and clanking against each other, etc. And wearing multiple necklaces at the same time is not very convenient either. But I know that I can’t be the first person to run into this dilemma and that there must be a simple solution. So those of you who wear more than one religious medal, what do you do to avoid these problems? Do you use beads or something to separate them?

I should mention that (not to sound sexist) I’m a guy and my knowledge of the intricacies of the world of jewelry is a bit limited. So, assuming the solution to this is as easy and obvious as I’m guessing it is you’ll have to bear with my ignorance.

Thanks.

Well, I normally switch them out, but my Brown Scapular and Miraculous Medal never leave my neck (except to shower!)…I would say wear your crucifix and one medal at a time and switch them out.

On the other hand, if someone asks you about the “clanking”, it may give you an opportunity to proclaim the Faith or evangelize.

Just a thought!
