I'm neither Russian nor a soldier, but I wear one like this: http://www.gallerybyzantium.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=31_50&products_id=228I confess I simply liked the design - and it's silver rather than gold, which is a plus for me. I'm really not a fan of gold. There is one small downside to it, however. There's a pointy bit at the top which has woken me up at night by jabbing me in the throat on more than one occasion. James |

Will be. I like it! Could put holy relics inside and use as impromptu altar in case of emergencies. "No worries, father, I have an altar with me." |

Awesome. Where did you get that? I want to buy it. This is one that my godfather gave me. I asked him once where he got it and he said he didn't remember. I suspect that he got it at a monastery he visits regularly, but where they got it would be another mystery. |

hey, not ALL our icons have tasteless flashing lights, maybe about 10% from what i've seen (maybe it's more in north america). i have a nice women's cross (pattern like rays of sun on it) which used to belong to my God mother, which she gave me on the day i revealed my other one had broken (it was a tiny thin metal one and now sits in the car, wrapped in transparent tape!). i arrived at the house without the cross, and was not allowed to leave like that! i definitely recommend a tattoo, then you can't loose it. the traditional place is on the inside of the right wrist, but if you want to be sure it's noticed, you can get a second one on the back of the hand towards the thumb side.  |

My wife and I were both given crosses with relics as a wedding present, which we now wear most of the time (unless going somewhere where there's a chance of losing it). I had never thought about using it as an impromptu antimension though! |

Yes, I bought it from them. My daughter's godmother bought her a baptismal cross from them and I was impressed by the quality so I bought myself the one I'm wearing. If I remember rightly there was a slight delay waiting for mine to be made as well, but I don't think it was excessive. James |

Better than what happened to me when I slept with my cross: The chain nearly strangulated me after getting caught in the sheets, several times (which despite what some weirdos here thought, is not pleasurable). |

When I was stationed at the Boston Navy Yard back in the 60's, I picked up this cross at O'Brians Catholic Book Store.... a precursor to moving to Orthodoxy.  Worn it ever since.... |
