Why a Cross?


Saw a commercial tonight for a piece of jewelry - a lovely cross made of crystal and silver - and if you looked in the middle crystal, you saw The Lord's Prayer. Beautiful necklace. I am just not into wearing the cross no matter how strong my faith.

It is a question I have asked for years: why did the church, Christianity, whomever choose a cross for our symbol? It is after all a symbol of torture and death. Better a symbol of peace, love and forgiveness - no, I don't know what. It is hard to depict an empty tomb, symbol of resurrection and Joy. All I know is, I don't wear crosses no matter how "dressed up" they are. That's my thought for tonight ~ blessings
