In 2 Minuten zu Hause messen
Sie brauchen einen Papierstreifen (oder eine Schnur bzw. einen Schnürsenkel), einen Stift und ein Lineal.
- Nehmen Sie eine Schnur oder einen Schnürsenkel und markieren Sie darauf die gewünschte Länge, zum Beispiel 50 cm.
- Halten Sie die beiden Markierungen im Nacken zusammen und tragen Sie dabei ein Oberteil, wie Sie es gewöhnlich tragen.
- Schauen Sie in den Spiegel: Am tiefsten Punkt der Schnur wird die Kette liegen.
- Zu hoch oder zu tief? Probieren Sie 5 cm mehr oder weniger: Das entspricht einer Größe größer oder kleiner.
Sie besitzen schon eine Kette, die Ihnen gefällt? Legen Sie sie mit geschlossenem Verschluss flach hin und messen Sie sie von Ende zu Ende. Bei breitem Hals oder breiter Brust sitzt jede Länge etwas höher.

So trägst du es
This small Latin cross with softly rounded edges comes with a fine 45 cm (18 in) cable chain, so it sits just below the collarbone. It is plain enough to wear with a school uniform, a T-shirt or a dress, and it layers easily under a longer necklace later on.
The gold-tone brass keeps its shine longer when kept away from water, perfume and chlorine, so take it off before a shower, a swim or sport. It is a classic gift from a godmother or godfather for a first communion, a confirmation or the baptism anniversary of an older child or a young adult.
Fragen
Is the 45 cm chain of The Godchild's Cross right for a teenager?
Yes. At 45 cm (18 in), the cross sits just below the collarbone on a teenager or an adult.
Does The Godchild's Cross have any engraving or stones?
No. It is a plain, smooth Latin cross in polished gold-plated brass, with softly rounded edges.
Is it a good first communion gift from a godparent?
Yes. A plain cross is the most traditional godparent gift, and this one stays simple enough to keep wearing for years.
Is it suitable for a baby's baptism?
It is better kept for an older child: necklaces are not recommended for babies. For a baptism, it can be given as a keepsake for later.
Will pool chlorine wear the plating of The Godchild's Cross?
It can. Water, soap and chlorine slowly wear the gold plating on brass, so take the cross off before showering or swimming.
Can The Godchild's Cross be given by a Protestant godparent?
Yes. It is a plain Latin cross with no figure, the sign every Christian receives at baptism, whatever the church.
The prayer
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
The Sign of the Cross, the first prayer of every Christian (Matthew 28:19)

Seine Bedeutung
The cross, given at a sacrament
The cross is the central sign of the Christian faith, recalling Christ's death and resurrection. At baptism, the priest, parents and godparents trace the sign of the cross on the forehead of the one being baptized, claiming that person for Christ. A plain cross given at a later sacrament, such as first communion or confirmation, recalls that first sign and the promise made that day. Many godparents choose one as a lasting reminder of the faith they agreed to help pass on. This small, smooth Latin cross with softly rounded edges is polished gold-plated brass,...
