The New York Times wants you to know some radical, groundbreaking news in 2025: Christians wear cross necklaces. Like, a lot of them. Including this writer, who wears a cross that belonged to her late father.
This is real. People wear crosses and the NYT is ON IT. pic.
twitter.com/osznDYYAms They're so on it: As a millenniums-old symbol of Christian faith, the cross would seem somewhat immune to trendiness. But cross necklaces and pendants have been in vogue before and may be again as some feel more comfortable embracing their faith and seek community with others.
On red carpets, on social media, at protests by high-ranking Democrats and in the White House, necklaces with cross pendants are appearing with renewed prevalence. Chappell Roan wore an oversize one to the MTV Video Music Awards in September, and one dangled from Sabrina Carpenter’s neck in the music video for her single “Please Please Please.” The trendy online store Ssense sells them in nearly 50 variations, and mainstream jewelers like Kendra Scott and Zales carry numerous designs.
Lately, the cross necklaces flash across cable news screens several times a week, suspended between the collarbones of Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, and Attorney General Pam Bondi. We're sorry this is happening to you, NYT . It’s like Jane Goodall and her first encounter with the gorillas! Exactly.

Except at the New York Times. They live in such a bubble they think this is news. They’d probably never met someone who wears a cross unironically before Safest bet ever.
