rolig commented on the list tools-of-god
Misanthropic me! Here I was, expecting to find words like hurricane, flood, pestilence, drought . . .

This list is a neglected member of my flock. Churches and I don't breathe in each other's faces that often.

I knew a girl who was a Shia Muslim and she had this kind of stone. The idea was to hold it in the hand, and during the prostration bit of the prayer to plop it in front so the forehead touched the stone and not the ground. I would love to know that those things are called.

as someone raised as a kind of hybrid Presbyterian Quaker, with the Quaker part eventually dominating, I don't know much about religious paraphernalia, but one word that I have always found surprising and a little scary/funny is monstrance. I have no idea what your Muslim friend's stone would be called, but I am delighted you want to know.

Rolig, that's a great description of that word: scary/funny. :-)

I like monstrance too, hideously fascinating! Found the word I was looking for: turba.

Congrats, bilby. And speaking of hideously fascinating things, how about reliquary?

I always thought crucifix was a scary word. (I guess it's supposed to be, though.) This list rocks. Its awesomeness can scarcely be contained by its abbreviated length.

Really? I always loved the sound of "crucifix," for some reason.

Thanks sionnach, right on the ball as usual you old fox. I'm looking for more words from non-Christian religions just to balance the scale so come on all you voodoo warriors, speak up! This list is focussed on objects with ceremonial roles rather than clothing of religious personages, which perhaps deserves ... another list? :->

Love it! Pyx is one of my favorites, a great Scrabble word.

crucifix is a gymnastics move and a ambo is an ambulance too

Cool list! How about chalice + cryptex and the infamous cilice belt (as we know them from 'The Da Vinci Code')?

What about sistrum?
