[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 652015, member: 1963"] Origami, my neighbour has never tried to convert me. Religion has only come up a few times. The first time was when we first met: he asked me what church I attended which is a common conversational "opener" up here. Other than that, he's asked me a couple of times if I wanted to go to certain special masses with him and then gone, "That's right, I forgot." and that's been it. A Facebook friend was kind enough to give me some information on how a device very similar to a rosary works and apparently it is a combination mnemonic and meditiative device. I have seen my neighbour praying using his rosary many times. His is made of carved olive wood from Jerusalem, so I guess in some cases the material from which rosaries are made can have significance as well. I am going to hold onto the one he gave me. I have other jewelry items that have significance to me that I don't wear, such as turquoise and silver items of my late husband's, that are way too big for me to wear but would be ruined by re-sizing. Perhaps, like husband's jewelry, at some point in the future, I will find someone I want to have the rosary and will pass it on. [/QUOTE]
