At Cloverleaf while looking through a display of gaudy jewelry featuring St. Benedict and Miraculous Medals as centerpieces. (Called "Pax Circles" and "Magdalena Charms")
Me: I don't know whether to be flattered or disconcerted that the symbols of my religion are being used in couture jewelry.
Owner: I never understood crosses anyway. You think if Jesus comes back he wants to look at a bunch of crosses?
Me: Still, I have to wonder how many people wear these without any idea what they mean.
Owner: I couldn't tell you what they mean, I know that.
