Friday funtime quizzery
I'm not especially a religious cat, and lean toward agnosticism at my most upbeat. But I am capable of respecting, and on a good day appreciating, the art that comes from spiritual expression.
I'm not sure how I ended up with this cross, because some of the questions assumed dogmatic knowledge on my part that I don't possess. But I knew the difference between "Ben Hur" and "The Passion of the Christ" so took a stab.
The one question that really threw me though was something about which material bests suits my personality... I thought about it, and couldn't decide betwixt marble or clay. I went with marble because it's cold.
I think I like my cross: simple, devoid of pretension (the object itself, I'm focusing on here), hand made, and just slightly weird:
You are St Brigid's Cross: St. Brigid is an Irish saint who hand-wove a cross out of rushes she found by the river. She made the cross while explaining the passion of our Lord to a pagan man.

That is interesting. The whys and wherefores of sailor training are utterly foreign to me.
What aspect of that though caused you to connect it to religio-quizzery?

Nothing, just convenience, although I took the quiz and had the same results: Brigid.

Huh. What did you answer on the perosnality/materials question?

Ooooh, lemme see. Is there a link?

I don't like that at all...

Brigid's cross here, too. Probably because one of my many seesters is named Brigid, and the Quizilla folk knew that.
I was tempted to take the quiz multiple times, just to see how I had to answer to get the suffery and bleedy stone Jesus, but decided it was easier to just come back here and ask J how he'd pulled off that particular feat.
jeez... without taking the
jeez... without taking the quiz again... marble, earth tones, kitchen, ben hur, mexico, st. francis?
That's what I remember, anyway. The hilarious part is that, agnostic that I am, the near-pornographic suffering and bleediness of that stone cross is probably the one I'm sure to find most off-putting of them all. Unlike good St. Brigid, whose cross is most attractive.
Marble & earth tones probably
Marble & earth tones probably explain it. As George Carlin was fond of saying, earth tones are just a mixture of red and green.
In my case, I'm convinced the choice of Brigid's woven cross was solely due to my answer on the weaving question. So much for the integrity of quizzes.
