For Lutherans

[Faith]

Do any of you wear a Crucifix necklace or is that mostly a Catholic thing?

 

[Lamb]

I know some Lutherans who wear a crucifix. I don't have any of them and have a little cross that I sometimes wear. Ever since I had surgery on my neck 4 years ago, I don't feel comfortable wearing necklaces anymore.

Lutheran here and I wear a crucifix. It is mostly a Catholic thing, but there are many Lutherans who wear it too. If Jesus had not died on the cross for our salvation, we would still be waiting for our Savior.

You will see some of our Pastors wearing the crucifix too.

I own a few... and I wore such as a child and teen but I no longer wear a cross. My pastor wears one as part of his liturgical attire on Sundays.

In the USA, it is a MOSTLY Catholic thing. But that's an American thing. Crucifixes are fairly common in Lutheran churches.

I hope you start feeling better.

Well, I’m in the USA. Would it be weird for me to wear one?

It's a free country

Well yeah, but would people think I’m Catholic or if they know I’m not, wonder “why in the heck is SHE wearing a Cucifix?”

We’re going to the beach again this year and when I was Catholic I always wore a Miraculous Medal and Crucifix on the same chain most days but always to the beach because they’re not too expensive so if I lost either one I wouldn’t be devastated but since my pastor said what he said…..now I’m not so sure
I’m not wearing the medal though.

Do you care if people think you're Catholic? I mean, it shouldn't really matter. My friend is Eastern Orthodox and they wear a crucifix too. It's not just a Catholic thing.

Yeah, I do care….why? I don’t know.
