What I Wore Sunday (Again!): My Nativity Stones Cross

What I wore to Mass today is something I've worn before, and I first showed it to you in my last WIWS post: it's a beautiful cross, layered in 18K gold, with a piece of stone that came from the Cave of the Nativity in Bethlehem (the birthplace of Christ!) in the center.  Last time, I wore it with a liturgically correct purple knit dress from Coldwater Creek.  Today, I wore it with a purple Ralph Lauren sweater, which was a Christmas 2012 gift from my #4 son's new bride, Braveheart.  (I modeled this sweater in a WIWS post a while back, and one youthful commenter "loooved" it, with its unusual horizontal cable-knit.  Even gave it "props."  So thanks for keeping me up to fashion speed, Braveheart!)

If you would like to have a cross as beautiful and meaningful as this one, this is the perfect time to visit the Natvity Stones Collection website.  As a special Easter gesture, they are offering readers of String of Pearls a 15% discount.  Just use the coupon code FAITH15 if you'd like to take advantage of this wonderful offer.

I feel extraordinarily blessed to have received this Classic Nativity Stones Cross from the generous people at Nativity Stones, and I'd like to do the best I can to get the word out about the wonderful work they are doing to share these precious relics with as many believers as possible.

(And don't forget the "Finding Grace in Lent" giveaway: if you leave me a comment before midnight tomorrow, March 24, your name will go in the hat, and you could win one of 7 copies of my Catholic novel Finding Grace.)
