Show me your Cross
« on: October 11, 2012, 09:03:13 PM »
I dont know if this sounds silly but, I wana see a pic of the cross you are wearing.

i have been looking around for a new cross to wear for a long time and cant decide on one.
Im getting some $$ comming in soon (probably) and i think im finally gona splurge on a new cross.
Im currently wearing my aunts (memory eternal) cross....but um hemm its more for a woman (thats why i want a new one) but thats all i have right now, and i always wear a cross. I have lost sooo many crosses in my life, its not funny.

Anyway show us a pic of your cross if you can. to help me decide what to get.

I will post a pic of mine but my cell dont have a cam so tomorow il take apic with my camera.

kinda silly thread no???

Large Pectoral Cross 4.60"
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PECTORAL-LARGE-4-60-SILVER-925-GOLD-RUSSIAN-ORTHODOX-PRIEST-CROSS-CUSTOM-ORDER-/140864862579?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20cc333973

I don't like jewelry generally, but I will say that one thing that bothers me about cross necklaces is that they generally don't seem to weigh enough, so rather than sitting where they should they end up out of place up by my shoulder or something. I'd definitely get a heavier one if I bought another one.

same here. i cant stand jewelry, it just bothers me, feeling someting on me, even rings.

i only wear a cross. and like i said this is really a woman's cross so its pretty small and all overthe place as u say.

i want someting med size and silver.

i think i like orthonorms. his looks a bit bigger then what i want i think.

Hey, orthonorm-----try it again please.

U guys think its wrong to be so picky for a cross?

i feel guilty being so picky. but i then rationalise it by saying its something forever (unless i loose it) so i should really like it before i get it.

Dear Nikolas,

I thought you might get the joke. Guess you are new member and not much of a lurker.

That photo is of our beloved Achronos.

I was saying he is my cross I bear.

He is short.

And very burdensome.

It's all in good fun.

I'm sure Achronos could give you more infos on what is probably some hip-hop bling he is sporting there.

You can buy whatever cross you choose then whatever length of chain to go with it.

Sorry, I didn't think you would take the post to heart.

Putting orthonorm's head on a wizard would be a much better choice.

As for my pic, there's a word I want to use to describe my attire and me personally but it's not permitted on this forum. "Loser" will sadly have to suffice.

Secondly, the honest background of that pic was a mockery of a friend of mine who posted pictures of himself in the bathroom with aviators, but looks even more loserly then I. However we look like we were seperated at birth.

EDIT: I'm not sure what cross that is. Might be a larger one I don't have anymore, but I'll take a snap of what I'm wearing now tonight.
