Kalung salib

Kalung salib
Kalung salib yang menampilkan salib Ortodoks, dengan tiga palang horizontal, palang bawah berada pada sudut tertentu.

Kalung salib adalah kalung apa pun yang menampilkan salib Kristen atau krusifiks sebagai liontinnya.[1]

Kalung salib sering dikenakan sebagai indikasi komitmen terhadap iman Kristen,[2][3][4] dan terkadang diterima sebagai hadiah untuk ritus seperti baptisan dan pengukuhan.[5][6] Para jemaat Gereja Ortodoks Oriental dan Gereja Ortodoks Timur diharapkan untuk selalu mengenakan kalung salib baptisan mereka.[7][8]

Sebagian umat Kristen percaya bahwa mengenakan salib memberikan perlindungan dari kejahatan,[7][9][10] sementara yang lain, baik Kristen maupun non-Kristen, mengenakan kalung salib sebagai aksesori busana.[11]

Buku Museum Seni Metropolitan berjudul Metropolitan Jewelry karya Sophie McConnell dan Alvin Grossman menyatakan: "Pada abad-abad pertama era Kristen, salib adalah simbol rahasia yang digunakan oleh para penganut agama baru yang dianiaya."[12] Banyak uskup Kristen dari berbagai denominasi, seperti Gereja Ortodoks Timur, mengenakan salib dada sebagai tanda ordo suci mereka.

Sebagian besar penganut Gereja Ortodoks Tewahedo Ethiopia akan mengenakan salib yang diikatkan pada rantai atau matäb, yaitu tali sutra.[13][sumber tepercaya?] Matäb diikatkan di leher pada saat pembaptisan, dan penerima diharapkan untuk selalu mengenakan matäb tersebut. Wanita sering kali memasang salib atau liontin lain pada matäb, tetapi ini tidak dianggap penting.[14]

Most Christians who have worn crosses have probably not trivialized a core teaching of Jesus about renouncing self-centeredness, figuratively described as carrying one's cross.
