Some folks collect Beanie Babies. Others gather priceless vehicles. Heck, Angelina Jolie used to collect Billy Bob’s blood. Me? I compile crosses. My Aunt Kathy gifted me first cross over 10 years ago and my obsession with crucifixes has only grown. Pictured here is my kitchen — quite possibly the world’s most religious kitchen at that. My crosses hail from all over the globe — from faraway places such as Israel and Greece to closer spots like New Jersey. Each cross holds a special memory of my travels and since Aunt Kathy has sadly passed, I feel like she hovers above my head when I’m cooking for the kiddos.
This is my favorite cross hailing from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I have an affinity with Day of the Dead tchotchkes. When it comes to my cross collection, the weirder, the better.
Jesus would love my kitchen. What do you collect and why?
