Cross Necklace/Silver Cross Locket (क्रॉस लॉकेट): A Cross Necklace is any necklace featuring a Christian cross or crucifix worn by Christians and others. They are often purchased at stores, or received as gifts for rites such as baptism and confirmation. Crosses are often worn as an indication of commitment to the Christian faith. Cross Necklace
The cross is revered throughout Christianity as a symbol of faith in Jesus. It will bring you great joy while you proudly wear it as a symbol of your faith. Worn around the neck, placed on the dashboard of a car, hung from a wall, neatly lined in cemetery rows, placed on top of church steeples, or found along highways either alone or with two slightly smaller crosses on each side, this icon is made of varied materials and found in different shapes, forms and places. -Silver Cross Locket.
Most display the simple cross (Cross Necklace) —an upright stake with an intersecting crossbeam located about a third of the way down from the top. Some have two crossbeams; others have an oval shaped circle on top. Still another type, called a crucifix, has an image of “Jesus” affixed to it. The shapes, sizes and configurations are seemingly endless, with “something for everyone.” Most adherents of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church will wear a cross attached to either a chain or a matäb, a silk cord. The matäb is tied about the neck at the time of baptism, and the recipient is expected to wear the matäb at all times. Women will often affix a cross or other pendant to the matäb, but this is not considered essential.- Cross Necklace
In some nations, such as the People’s Socialist Republic of Albania, an atheist state, the wearing of cross necklaces was historically banned. Many Christian bishops of several denominations, such as the Anglican Church, wear the pectoral cross as a sign of their order. -Cross Necklace.
