Woohoo! Don't worry, I'm sure it's ethically made..
Good find!

If they ain't diamonds I ain't buying.

[Shadowmancer]

Purchased and gift-wrapped, for me alone. I think it'll make a great bookmark.

Spotted on a jewelry store sign today
"Somebunny wants jewelry for Easter."

Cross Chocolate and "Testa-mints." It's not bad for the baby because it's in the shape of a Holy Icon.

[Pigmalia]

If eating candy holy icons can help get you into heaven, then I'm willing to try on works alone.

[glasshaus]

It doesn't make me feel particularly worshipful, but it does make me want chocolate. Is this an advertisement for some kind of Christian Easter Candy?

Don't go to church on Sunday
Don't get on my knees to pray
Don't memorize the books of the Bible
I got my own special way
I know Jesus loves me
Maybe just a little bit more
I fall down on my knees every Sunday
At Zerelda Lee's candy store
Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied
Well I don't want no Abba Zabba
Don't want no Almond Joy
There ain't nothing better
Suitable for this boy
Well it's the only thing
That can pick me up
Better than a cup of gold
See only a chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul
(Solo)
When the weather gets rough
And it's whiskey in the shade
It's best to wrap your savior
Up in cellophane
He flows like the big muddy
But that's ok
Pour him over ice cream
For a nice parfait
Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied
--Lyrics by Tom Waits

As for that stupid "Prayer Cross" thing you linked to they flog that like mad on Canadian TV, but only on the channel that tells you what's on other channels. what utter garbage, the way people use Christianity as a cash cow makes me fuming mad.

Happy belated Easter (Unless you're Orthodox I think)! Has Eastern Orthodox Easter happened yet?

This year was the first in a very long time when both Eastern Orthodox and Western Christians celebrated Easter on the same weekend. The calendars alligned this year.

[Chris Rooney]

Wow! that is rare!

Yeah and aligned with calculations from the Hebrew calendar. It still burns me up whenever I think that, although his death and resurrection is the only important date in Jesus's life that can be accurately calculated (by it's relation to Pesach), the West chose arbitrarily to mess with it. Rome decreed that Easter be delayed until after the first full moon after Pesach, and harshly punished priests who would not go along. The first full moon? Just for the hell of it? No, thank you -- I've broken with Western Christendom ever since I learnt this tidbit, and I hope others start doing so too.

[Chris Rooney]

so that's the reason hunh? I suppose out of an attempt to be diplomatic on behalf of those trying to explain it to me I never got a straight answer to who the two churches celebrate Easter at different times.

[glasshaus]

I wasn't aware of that, either. I knew about the split, but not the reason. That's really a strange and arbitrary designation.

Well, the East was also on the Julian calendar (until a couple of years ago?), so ...
