Religous Jewelry - Make a Satetment of FaithOur holy scriptures tell us we should never be ashamed to tell about, or hide our faith. Paraphrased, chapter 8 in the gospel of Mark says, "If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this world, then the Son of Man will also be ashamed when he comes with his Father in glory." You don't have to be a dynamic, oracle speaker to profess your belief in God. A very simple way to share our love for God with others is by wearing religious jewelry.
Religious ornaments allow us to quietly share our belief with those we come in contact with, possibly sparking a conversation about faith. Spreading the gospel is one of the great commandments of Christ. Recognized throughout the world, the cross is a universal symbol of Christian faith. Worn around your neck, in a necklace of gold or silver, the cross will be a striking piece to show. Most stores will have bracelets, earrings and pendants that are adorned with the symbol. Crosses come in a variety of styles. There are simple, elegant ones, ones with beautiful stones, or more modern designs made from nails depicting the nails used to pierce the hands and feet of Christ. A crucifix is also a simple way to display your faith. The body of Christ on the cross can't help but stir the hearts of those who wear it and those who see it. Mounted in various settings, gold and silver, the wearer of a crucifix will feel the peace that comes with it. It is a powerful tool for reflection. Praying with the rosary has been a tradition for many centuries. The rosary's beads are used to help devoted recite different prayers, such as the Lord's Prayer and the Hail Mary. Each bead helps the wearer keep place in a meditation and reflection of the Lord. Worn as a piece of jewelry, the faithful follower can always have it close at hand when it is time for meditation and prayer. Found in many different styles, there are beautifully intricate designs with colorful beads or plain ones with simple beads. There are also rosaries adorned with patron saints or a crucifix. Rosaries can be engraved as a special gift. Since almost everyone wears some form of jewelry why not wear your pieces as a quiet statement of your belief in God. Simply show the world where your religious beliefs lie.
