    I have seen it done before, to great effect, with a bit of grosgrain ribbon behind to denote the 'season'.

    Regards

    Classy! Especially if you're Anglican or Catholic.... That could work quite well, I'm sure. (Perhaps some other traditional denominations as well).

    I would consider doing something like that too, but I'm not so fond of crosses as much as I used to. I used to wear a really cool-looking silver one on a chain around my neck when I was in college (many moons ago) but I stopped (for personal reasons I probably shouldn't get into on this site).

    I do however like some of the alternative suggestions proposed by Mike... To that I would also add a Christian fish as a possibility. I've not seen it done, but I can't see why it shouldn't be.

    If by "traditional" you mean every other denomination. The Liturgical colors vary somewhat worldwide, but they exist in all branches of Christianity.

    We'll just have to agree to disagree.

    Thanks, CDNSushi, my childhood upbringing was raising my blood pressure as I read that.

    Funny how those things stick with you for the rest of your life.

    I keep meaning to read up on the colors being used that way, it sounds interesting.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Can't say I've seen used much here among the various evangelical denominations in the Bible Belt...When I was a Presbyterian, a minister at our church, who was an ex-Baptist, had to ask my mother why "we changed the hangings on the pulpit", so I'm not so sure about your statement. I daresay some folks in these parts would reject the custom. Being a a "High-Church" Anglican, I love the idea.

    I (and many other retailers) carry this Celtic Cross kilt pin. It has fairly rounded edges and comes in Antique or Chrome.

    Thumbs up thanks for the replies

    Thanks so much for all the replies. Money being an issue I think I will opt for a simple celtic cross for the time being. I really like the round kilt pins shown, but not in the budget at the curremt time.
