TeaDidikai The worship of Saints. Most folks here are dyed in the wool pagans- and have worked very long and hard to distance themselves from Christian traditions. On the other hand- a number of folks still have little figures of YHVH's henchmen lurking around their homes. Still others practice Meso-pagan traditions that likely involve one form of hierolatry or another. So- fess up. What icons do you keep? Angels? Saints? I have a rosary I bought from the Notre Dame Basillica in Montreal. Never officially used it. I got it because it's pretty, and the proceeds went to the maintenance of a very beautiful and historical building.
Yet I carry it in my purse for reasons unknown to me.
EDIT: I think my carrying it has something to do with my grandmother. I went to the basillica on a school trip. During this time my grandmother was very sick, and eventually, right before I was supposed to go, they decided to pull life support. However my mom prevented it from happening right about, because she felt that my grandmother would have been furious if they pulled it when I was about to go on a trip that I had waited for six months for. So they sent me, and effectly, what happened is that she died as I was on the charter bus coming home. (During which, I had a crying hyperventilating nervous breakdown *and of course, I'm listening to Sigur Ros while typing this, which puts me in a crying mood as it is sad Figures*).
I'm not nor have ever been a Catholic, but at the basillica I both bought the rosary and dropped money in the alcove with the patron saint for the sick.
So it's more a personal attatchment thing for me. Didn't originally occur because it's not a memory I love pulling up.
