How to wear a cross correctly: do's and don'ts
The cross is of great importance as not just a piece of jewelry, but as a symbol of faith and protection from evil. SSPDaily has told you what rules should be followed when caring for it.
How to choose a pectoral cross
Give preference to a cross made of precious metals - gold, silver or platinum. The addition of gemstones is acceptable as long as it does not become too flashy. Make sure that its size is moderate so that it can be worn comfortably under clothing.
Getting a cross
You can receive a cross as a gift or buy one yourself. However, it is important that it is blessed in a church and that you wear it with sincerity and devotion. Under no circumstances should you wear someone else's or found crosses, as they can radiate negative energy.
How to wear a cross
Wear the cross around your neck on a chain or lace, also blessed. It is recommended to hide it under your clothes to avoid unnecessary attention. Do not take it off unless it is necessary to prevent loss or damage.
Caring for the cross
Take precautions to protect the cross from mechanical damage, contact with chemicals, and exposure to high temperatures. In case of dirt or darkening, gently wipe it with a soft cloth or use special jewelry cleaners.
What not to do with a cross
- Do not give or lend your cross to others.
- Do not wear your cross together with other amulets.
- Do not sell, barter, or throw it away.
