Do You Wear A Cross/crucifix?

[PhuturePriest]

Me too! I've been wearing mine for 5 though. Mine's also blessed. Rarely I'll tuck it in my shirt and display another necklace.

 

I get complimented on mine all the time. This is what it looks like:

That's how I feel about wearing a crucifix. I don't wear it to display to others, I wear it to remind myself what all the suffering in this life is for, that He who loved us first is the reason I can love.

 

I wear mine on the outside because I agree with Steve Ray that you should wear it on the outside proudly, and also to use it as a tool of evangelization. People compliment and ask about mine constantly, and it's a great way to start talking about the faith.

My chrismation cross broke, so I wear one that is simple or looks a bit like an Armenian cross, sometimes a crucifix, but I also try to be careful where I wear one since I don't always know how people will react.

I've gotten nothing but compliments and questions about mine, but I don't particularly live in or go to dangerous areas. It depends on your particular situation, I suppose. I personally would wear mine no matter where I was, but I'm also a man, and people might not be quite as tempted to be hostile to me, at least not physically.

No, I don't, but I wear a celtic heart necklace daily (a gift my from my long-suffering boyfriend), and I keep meaning to find a tiny miraculous medal to attach to the clasp (links, anyone?)

Prices to suit every budget - anywhere from $15 to $375. But I think the shipping is free!

Very nice! I like the Celtic style of the cross!

I believe that's a Pardon Crucifix Tardis. I usually wear that too :)

Indeed it is :)

I used to wear a cross, but it was very big and ostentatious and I don't like big and ostentatious things. For the past year or so I've been wearing a "l'oeil de Sainte Lucie," which is actually a shell and the wearer is apparently watched over by St. Lucy. It's good since she's the patron of those with eye trouble.

I used to have this rockin awesome 4 way medal 24/7 but the chain broke.

 

This thread has reminded me that I need to buy a new chain!

I used to wear one but I only wear a Miraculous Medal now after consecrating myself to Our Lady in 2009 on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception.  I don't like wearing a lot of jewelry as I consider myself a minimalist so the medal is all I wear.  I've had several people ask me about the medal when they see it because it's really pretty.  My mom bought it for me and it's sterling silver on a silver chain.  I love it.  I had my pastor bless it before I started wearing it. :)
