Post a picture of your cross / medallion!

Blessing a cross is like blessing an icon? Priest does it for you after Vespers or DL or maybe at a private meeting?

I ordered one today earlier...

mine was dunked in baptismal waters

I have an Irish Penal cross.

The Irish Penal Rosary, commonly known as An Paidrín Beag, was a single-decade rosary used in Ireland during penal times when religious objects were forbidden.[1][2] This version of the rosary is easily hidden, allowing devout Roman Catholics to pray with less fear of being detected.

They eventually used them also as crosses.


Here is the one I bought.

I had to go look up about the Penal laws after reading that.

Catholicism was basically outlawed. Priests and Bishops were murdered.

In the absence of baptismal water I would guess Holy Water would be used?

I would assume so. mine was dunked after my baptism, at a friend's baptism when Father found out that he did not do it to mine.

Would love it if someone could tell me more.

God be gracious to me a sinner.

Mine is much like this but with amber in the centre.

St. Cuthbert's Cross. Patron of Northern England.

Just taken about 5 minutes ago. Not the cross from my Chrismation, that one was lost with most of the contents of my room. Fortunately this one was on my neck, at the time.

Mine too is a replacement.

I do not know where my cross is, I hope it is either among my current posessions, or found its way among my stuff at my parents' house.
The problem with being in several university teams (no jewelry of any sort) and moving frequently.
