قلادة الصليب
قلادة الصليب هي أي قلادة تضم الصليب المسيحي أو الصليب الذي يرتديه المسيحيين وغيرهم.[1][2] وغالبًا ما يتم شراؤها من متاجر،[3] أو يتم تلقيها كهدايا خلال مناسبات مسيحية طقسيّة مثل المعمودية والمناولة الأولى وسر الميرون.[4][5]
وغالبًا ما يرتدي المسيحيين الصلبان كمؤشر على الإلتزام في الإيمان المسيحي.[6][7][8] بالإضافة إلى ذلك، بعض المسيحيين يعتقدون أن ارتداء صليب يوفر حماية لمرتديها من السوء.[9][10] بالنسبة لبعض الأفراد، بما في ذلك المسيحيين وبعض غير المسيحيين، يتم ارتداء القلائد كنوع من الموضة.[2] لأتباع بعض الطوائف المسيحية، مثل الكنيسة الأرثوذكسية الشرقية، يتم ارتداء قلادة الصليب بشكل دائم.[11][12] من المتوقع أن يرتدي المتناولون في الكنائس الأرثوذكسية الشرقية والمشرقية قلادات صليب المعمودية في جميع الأوقات. «في القرون الأولى من العصر المسيحي، كان الصليب رمزًا سريًا يستخدمه أتباع الديانة الجديدة المضطهدون».[13]
في بعض الدول تاريخيًا مثل جمهورية ألبانيا الشعبية الإشتراكية، والتي كانت دولة ملحدة، حظر إرتداء قلائد الصليب.[14][15] يرتدي كثير من الأساقفة المسيحيين من عدة طوائف، مثل الكنيسة الأنجليكانية، الصليب الصدري كعلامة على رتبتهم الدينيّة.[16]
في حالتين في بريطانيا والتي حظيت بتغطية إعلامية مكثفة، كانت حالة الممرضة شيرلي شابلن والمضيفة في الخطوط الجوية البريطانية نادية عويضة حيث حظر في كلا الحالتين ارتداء قلادة الصليب في العمل، ونتيجة لذلك، أخذت قضاياهم إلى المحكمة الأوروبية لحقوق الإنسان.[17][18][19]

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. For them the symbol is perceived not as powerful magic, or as a lovely decoration to impress others, but as a reminder primarily to themselves of their commitment to one who laid down His life in love for friends and enemies.

From the fifth century onward, the cross has been widely worn as an amulet, and the novel Dracula treats it as a protection against vampires. Many Christians continue to hang polished miniatures of the cross around their necks. Ironically, some treat the representation of an ancient torture device as a protecting charm.

In 1967, Hoxha proudly declared Albania to be the first completely atheistic state. It was once a chiefly Musim country with a Catholic minority and small groups of Greek Orthodox in the south. From the onset of communist rule, all religions had to cut their ties with their centers abroad. practically all the priests who survived the initial persecutions were confined in prisons or work camps. Religious orders were abolished, and all religious rituals, including the celebration of the sacraments, were prohibited and punishable by the death penalty for those officiating. The people were not even allowed to have religious necklaces or to wear such things as small crosses.

Two British women are fighting to get their cases heard at the European Court of Human Rights on the grounds that they were discriminated against when their employers stopped them from wearing the cross. British Airways employee Nadia Eweida was suspended by the airline for breaching its uniform code in 2006. Shirley Chaplin was barred from working on the wards on a hospital in Exeter, southwest England, after refusing to hide a cross she wore on a necklace chain.
