I am currently not allowed to wear any type of jewelry that shows my religion out of respect for the culture in which I live and work.
I carry my cell phone in a small pass case. My rosary is inside a case and the cross shows through the window of the pass case.
When I worked in a factory, I wore a small pewter crucifix on an 18 inch chain. It was small enough not to interfere with any machinery, and yet served as a simple witness to faith. I could wear it even with my T-shirt.I The crucifix was about an inch in size and I received many compliments.
While I like rosary bracelets, I had trouble putting mine on, plus it was always catching on things. I found a simple wooden bracelet that slides over the wrist while on retreat in Conyers. The cross lies flat on the wrist. The last time I saw my youngest brother, I slipped it on his wrist. I still remember the look of appreciation in his eyes.
Catholics can also be recognized by rosaries peaking from under their clothing. My rosary, like those of many others does have a miraculous medal.
As a Catholic, I prefer wearing a crucifix to simply wearing a cross.
Because my fashion color season is Summer, I wear silver.rather than gold.
I also like 4 way medals. One year I had given my brother a mariner’s crucifix for Christmas. It was on his Christmas wish list.
