<p>[QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 257605, member: 121"]Certainly true as far as I know - but future historians may not find this a truism and may wonder at the wear on some rosaries. It is quite a fashion here in the States for people of a certain class/genre to wear rosaries as jewellery/necklaces. This is among young male Catholics, usually but not always of a Latin background, but most definitely started among gangs and other urban "organizations". It is spreading to popular culture, just as sagging pants (a sign that you had been incarcerated and by force could not wear a belt) did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
