I recently received a gift of blessed water from a friend. I'm still deciding what I want to do with it. The decanter is lovely. Over the years, I've gotten metals with Saints on them and crosses. I was also given a scapula. The giver of the last one was in Catholic Religious Ed and had to explain it to us. A friend gave me a dream catcher before I even knew what one was one time. Once I found out what it was and what it was for, I thought it was really,really cool. We made a prayer stick at a class I was in once after someone explained the use of it. All the materials for the stick that we each made was a free donation. So that was like a free religious craft. I liked the gift of the Good Medicine Society Patch when I was initiated the best so far. So what ideas would you have concerning the blessed water? I've had it for a month now and haven't done anything with it. What religious gifts have you been given? What ones did you like the best? Do you have to explain any of them or did you have to have any explained to you? Thanks and have a wonderful day.

That cover sounds so cute. Was that your favorite color? I forgot about my Grandmother sending me a birthday angel. Probably because it got smashed in the mail when I was really little, but it was the thought that counts.

Yes, I have the pieces of my birthday angel and I have to remind my husband to NOT throw it out for the same reason. Embroidery is nice and fewer and fewer people are doing it now-a-days. Thank you for responding and for answering the question.
