Some Christians have artefacts to help them focus
whilst praying:
Statues are very popular - they are nearly always in Catholic churches
and very often in homes.
Little medals, candles, prayer cards all make up artefacts in everyday
use by Christians. Some groups do not like not use them, others carry
some of them at all times. Other things that may be found are beautifully
ornate and decorated prayer books. St Christophers have often been put
on chains and key rings for travellers.
A cross - from the very plainest to most ornate is usually found in
some form in a Christian establishment. Sometimes this is in the form
on Jewellery, earings or a pendant, sometimes on a picture, sometimes
a cross to hang on a wall or stand on a surface.
Religious Icons are part of many Orthodox Churches decor, also many
Orthodox Christians have them at home.
