Dear Orthodox Lady on the Subway...

Post by plani »

I was just looking at the beautiful Old Believer Style cross that you were wearing. I didn't realize that I was staring until you suddenly stood up and rushed off to the other end of the car looking very upset, disgusted and angry at me. I'm sorry that I upset you, but you might consider that there is wisdom in our tradition about wearing our baptismal crosses inside, against our skin and close to our hearts. Please forgive me.
