Christianity has been changed to the convienience of the people in power of it during the years, maybe it simmilarities were made because someone wanted to eliminate the egyptian beliefs and put the image of his god over the image of horus. Maybe it is a coincidence or more. maybe is a cultural mixture

It's probably legal to wear clothing that supports christianity, and you can't get more profain than that.

A cravat is the neckband that was the forerunner of the modern tailored necktie. From the end of the 16th century, the term "band" applied to any long strip of cloth worn round the neck that was not a "ruff". The ruff itself had started its career in the earlier 16th century as a starched and pleated strip of white linen that could be freshly changed to keep the neck of a doublet from getting increasingly grimy, or for use as a bib or napkin. A "band" could indicate a plain, attached shirt collar or a detached "falling band" that draped over the doublet collar.\n\nNecktie fashions have changed over time. This 1818 pamphlet depicts various styles of tying a cravat.The modern form of the cravat originated in the 1630s. Like most male fashions between the 17th century and World War I, it had a military origin. During the reign of Louis XIII of France, Croatian mercenaries enlisted in a regiment that supported the King and Richelieu against the Duc de Guise and the Queen Mother, Marie de Medici. The traditional outfit of these Croats aroused curiosity in Paris on account of the unusual and picturesque scarves distinctively tied about their necks. The scarves were made of various cloths, ranging from coarse material for common soldiers, to fine linen and silk for officers. The word "cravat" comes from the French cravate, and many sources state that this is a corruption of "Croat" — Croatian "Hrvat". However there is evidence that the word was in use in France in the 14th century and in Italy in 16th century. In one of his ballads, the French writer Eustache Deschamps (c. 1340–1407), used the phrase "faites restraindre sa cravate" (pull his cravat tighter). Considering the interdependency of many European regions (particularly the French) with the Venetian Empire, and the fact that this empire at one time occupied the bulk of the Croatian coast, that type of cross-culturalization would not be unprecedented. Whatever the origin of the word the new form of dress became known as a cravate and the French were quite ready to give up the starched linen ruffs that they had been wearing and adopt the new fashion of loose cravates made of linen or muslin with broad edges of lace.\n\nOn his return to England from exile in 1660, Charles II brought with him this new word in fashion:\n\n"A cravatte is another kind of adornment for the neck being nothing else but a long towel put about the Collar, and so tyed before with a Bow Knott; this is the original of all such Wearings; but now by the Art and Inventions of the seamsters, there is so many new ways of making them, that it would be a task to name, much more to describe them". (Randle Holme, Academy of Armory and Blazon, 1688.) \nA gentleman's cravat would be made of fine lace. Grinling Gibbons the famous carver and sculptor, made a highly realistic one, carved out of a piece of white limewood.\n\nDuring the wars of Louis XIV of 1689–1697, the flowing cravat was replaced, except for court occasions, by the more current and equally military Steinkirk, named for the Battle of Flanders of 1692. The Steinkirk was a long narrow, plain or lightly trimmed neckcloth worn with military dress, wrapped just once about the neck in a loose knot, with a lace of fringed ends that were twisted together and tucked out of the way into the button-hole (of either a coat or a waistcoat) The steinkirk proved to be popular with both men and women until the 1720s.\n\nThe macaronis reintroduced the flowing cravat in the 1770s and the manner of tying one became a matter of personal taste and style, to the extent that after Waterloo, the neckwear itself was increasingly referred to as a "tie".

Yes.  It is a form of Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

they are interesting, but i think a life in Christ speaks more loudly...i have a few, but dont think i will be acquiring anymore...we are to be living epistles, therefore no need for trendy shirts with catchy phrases...\n\nit would be nice to see words of encouragement and exhortation on tshirts...from believer to believer...\n\npersonal advice....if your only aim is to spread the Word of God through tshirts, then i would advise you to not charge money for the shirts, but rather distribute them for free, as the Lord provides the funding...\n\nthis advice comes from observing the Love of Christ through Paul...\n2 Corinthians 11:7 Did I commit sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?\n\nmany other verses say this also...

My grandma was catholic and i remember she would wear a silk kerchief or a lace one even my mom used those they used to say it was a sign of respect to the church ,I guess with time that tradition got lost as there isn´t much discipline in the churches and most of things are done thru free will....

I think the Pope has a specific tailor for his clothes. Some Italian family that has been making clothes for popes and high ranking church officials for centuries, apparently.

I disagree with tagi.  The Catholics bow down to a cement Christ on a cross.  if that isn't idolatry, I don't know what is.  If your friend was killed by a gun, would you wears one around your neck.  It is a good thing he wasn't trampled by an elephant.   We don't need physical symbols are signs to have us remember the sacrifice of Jesus.  if we do, then the level of our worship is on the surface and not the heart.  I have seen a lot of drug dealers and gang members wearing crosses.  What does that symbol remind them of?  The bible strictly forbids us to make any object in the likeness of Him or anything symbols at all.  the early Christians forbid their usage and the only reason they are used now is because of Constantine trying to unite he pagans and the Christians.  the cross was used by the pagans long before Christ.

Um...  not sure if this is helpful, but there are repeated references to God, however there are still references to fate and wyrd, remnants of the old anglo-saxon relgion.  This is important because it indicates that the culture is in a shift between the two religions and/or that the story dates from the pre-christian era, and has simply been retold for christian audiences.

Being pagan I have a LOT of religious objects. Symbols of my religion, statues, and clothing are good examples. I try to live my life for the gods and so my home reflects that. I know you weren't interested in religious texts, but I have a library of archeological books that tell of my religion. These are useful at times when I need to tell others about my religion. I also have an extensive library of christian literature for use when I need to explain christian religion to people who are part of that religion.

It could be called MONEY.  The more faithful for any cult, religion, or sect means more coppers in the bank.  I firmly believe the Catholic church is pagan and not Christian because they bow to idols, call the priest "Father", and revere the Pope; which are all contrary to the Bible they claim to believe in.

It is, yes. At some point in time, a Roman emperor named Constantine decided to switch Rome's official religion from Paganism to Catholicism. To make the change easier, he added elements of Paganism to the religion (for instance, making Christmas on December 25th, to coincide with a Pagan holiday- I believe that according to the bible Jesus's birthday was sometime in April).

I think you can. First century Christianity is nothing like the overbloated monster that has become "Churchianity" as we know it today. To have a relationship with the Christ without the extra baggage would be very personal and probably a heck of a lot more fulfilling than joining the fan club.

Yes indeed young man, yes indeed.\nTheir very own encyclopedia states theirs is a religion of tradition.

Believe it or not CROATIA is the mother country of the modern necktie but archaeological evidence of the use of neckties goes back to the Chinese and the Romans almost two millenniums back.\nfor more info check otu this site... :o)\nhttp://www.twilightbridge.com/hobbies/festivals/father/necktie.htm
