Catholic Medals and Crucifixes Very Expensive This Christmas Season

I was out of town for most of yesterday for my birthday and one of my stops was the Catholic Bookstore. I needed to get a another quality crucifix to wear since I had sadly misplaced mine.

Catholic Christmas shoppers prepared to be shocked. The cost of sterling silver has gone through the roof , about 40 percent in one year according to the owner of the bookstore yesterday. A nice sterling silver silver crucifix that would cost me 40 ish dollars last year cost me 71 Dollars this year!! So better budget a little more if a crucifix or medal is on the Christmas list.

If you want gold of course you can forget that.
