Sign of the Cross (Conservative point of View)

rdfs:comment

The Sign of the Cross is a hand motion common in the religious devotions and worship services of Roman Catholic, Anglican, Eastern Orthodox, and some Lutheran Christians. It is commonly done accompanying the recitation of the words "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit", a reference to the Trinity. The Sign of the Cross is made by touching the hand to the forehead, the sternum, and then to each shoulder, symbolizing the Cross of Christ. The order in which each shoulder is touched is right-to-left in the Eastern Orthodox tradition, rather than left-to-right in Western traditions.
