Alice Moderator Member Registered: 01/12/03 Posts: 9758 Loc: USA	After reading this in a post on one of our other forums, 'Carry your cross daily, or at least have one hanging from your rear view mirror'. I thought to ask this question. I see many rosaries hanging from the rear view mirror. Do you have a religious item in your car for God's protection? I have always made a point of having a small, usually laminated paper, icon in my car, and also in my wallet. Alice

tjm199 Member Registered: 04/02/04 Posts: 564 Loc: State College, PA	I have a visor clip I purchased on the internet a few years ago. It is a crucifix with Adam underneath. Karl Malden would be proud of me--I never travel without it! S'bohom!

Lawrence Member Registered: 02/20/03 Posts: 2206 Loc: Illinois	For the longest time I've had a Holy card of Jesus with the act of contrition on the back, and a Pieta card, on my dashboard.

Father Anthony Administrator Member Registered: 02/16/05 Posts: 3404 Loc: New York	I used to have some magnetic icons, but since they no longer have any metal in the front they sit in a drawer at home. The double sticky pads just do not do the trick when your car in the hot sun for any period of time. The visors on the new cars are also too thick for a visor clip now. So it is just what I have from my rear view mirror.

InCogNeat3's Member Registered: 03/15/06 Posts: 621 Loc: UNDER THE PANTOCRATOR	For starters, my car gets blessed on the (ridiculous Gregorian Calendar) Feast of St. Elias. I have a religious bumber sticker as well as several religious window clings, at least one Chotki and one Rosary in the glove box, several visor clips, and a dash board Icon. I am also tempted to add one of those big metal IC XC fish that eats the Darwin fish with legs...
