Religious Jewelry By Jayne Waldorf At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

I am not about to start discussing religion in this article. I think that beliefs are a personal matter. If you are interested in religious jewellery because it reinforces your faith or because you find it pleasing to wear or any other reason then that’s ok by you so it should be ok with everyone else.

I must admit though, I did feel sorry when I heard that a member of British Airway crew had been told to remove his crucifix in case it offended other religions in other countries, He had apparently been given it by his grandma so I think it was more a case of a loving reminder of his grandma than a statement of his faith. I always wear a gold ring that was give me by my mother-in law and I would be devastated if I ever had to take it off. I believe British Airways has back peddled since. The announcement to withdraw the ban was made five hours after the Church of England threatened to sell its £6.6 million worth of BA shares because of the ban. Here in England we are very tolerant of other people’s beliefs and religions so find it hard to understand when others don’t tolerate us.

Throughout history all religions have been subject to bloodshed and persecution. According to our scriptures Jesus was on the cross for less than one day and over 2,000 years later the cross or a crucifix (which is a figure of Jesus on the cross), is worn as a piece of jewellery by Christian men and women as a statement of their faith.

Crucifixes first appeared in the 5th century but at that time the figure of Jesus was symbolized as a lamb. As well as gold and silver crosses and crucifixes on the Waldorf Elite web page you will also find other items of religious jewelry including the Sacred Heart Medallion and "ZION" Star of David

Zion is a term that most often describes Jerusalem and the Land of Israel. The shape of the Star of David is six-pointed geometric star figure a mixture of two equilateral triangles. This shape is called a hexagon. The hexagon shape has been used by other religions and is still used by the occult. During the Second World War the Jews were identified by the Germans with A Star of David. The star had the word Jude on it which was German for Jew and during the holocaust all Jews above the age of 6 were required to wear this star which was usually a yellow color. In other German-occupied areas the word Jew was inscribed on the star in the other areas language.

In 17th century Paris, a, Roman Catholic nun, Margaret Mary Alacoque had visions of Jesus Christ. From these visions she learned the devotion to the Sacred Heart. The heart of Christ is a symbol of Christ’s love for mankind. The Sacred Heart is almost always seen on Jesus’ chest .The heart is depicted as a flaming heart shining with divine light, pierced by the lance-wound, surrounded by a crown of thorns, and bleeding The wounds and crown of thorns refer to the manner, while the fire represents the divine love for humanity.
