Religious crosses have a number of uses in Christian worship. A Christian cross on a staff is carried in many processions. During some ceremonies, members of the clergy or worshipers trace the shape of a cross with a hand or certain fingers. Holy crosses were put up to mark the graves of heroes, kings, and bishops during the Middle Ages. Often religious crosses were set up in market places. People preached beneath religious crosses. Even today churches are often built with their floor plan in the shape of a cross picture. Select this link to view our Silver and Clear Acrylic Bead Garlands.
