<p>[QUOTE="lizjewel, post: 2182151, member: 13874"][USER=9783]@Jal[/USER] Sounds like it's a religious memento from a holy place, like the Vatican, or Jerusalem, Bethlehem. A small piece of wood may represent a "piece of the Holy Cross". These amulets were and still are sold to pilgrims to holy places. It's not important [to the pilgrim] if the wood actually came from the real Holy Cross. The important thing is to have something in hand, or around his/her neck to remember the pilgrimage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
