I’ve always liked crosses. I simply find them very beautiful.
I wasn’t raised in a religious home – my father comes from a Catholic family and my mother from a Muslim family. They are both atheist, and I was never baptized or taught about any religion in particular.
I’ve gone to baptisms and celebrated Christmas just as often as I’ve helped my grandmother prepare the Eid meal. I was even invited to a Sabbath celebration recently, and I felt very honored. I have a lot of respect for religion.
So I didn’t think about it too much when I bought this cross. I found it sublime, perfect, and I wore it all the time – I still wear it!
