cross Prayer what is the prayer cross-like action people of Christian faith perform?
i was just wondering because after saying amen it is performed and i wanted to know if there's a specific name you call it, and how you do it. i'm really a religious person, but i love to know more about them as an interest. thanks.
also, i think this applies to not just christians, but catholics.
point proven about my lack of religion knowledge .
It is the Sign of the Cross. It's used by Catholics, Episcopalians, and others. However, there are also many Christian denominations that don't use it.

The Holy Cross
Oh! Lord Almighty You have suffered death at the cross for our sins.
Oh! Holy Cross of Jesus be my true light.
Oh! Holy Cross of Jesus fill my soul with good thoughts.
Oh! Holy Cross safely guard me against unholy thoughts and wordly dangers that I may worship the Holy Cross of Jesus of Nazareth crucified have pity on me.
Oh! Holy Cross of Jesus be my hope.
Oh! Holy Cross have mercy on me forever and ever. Amen.
In honor of the precious Blood of Jesus and His fearful death and resurrection and His glorification, which leads to everlasting life.
As true as Jesus was born at Christmas and crucified on Good Friday,
As true as Saint Joseph and Nicodemus took Jesus down from the cross,
As true as Jesus ascended into heaven, may He preserve me from my enemies both visible and invisible forever and ever. Amen.
Lord Almighty, unto your hand I give my soul and my body.
Oh! Lord Jesus grant me strength to bear my cross as yourself. Teach me to bear it with great humility that the Virgin may fill me with the Holy Spirit. Preserve my soul and lead it to life everlasting. AMEN

saint Anne Catholics: Is it true that the Virgin Mary's mother was Saint Anne and why was she a saint?
Acording to history:, Ann the mother of Mary, was born in Bethlehem, where, years later, Jesus would be born. She married Joachim from Nazareth in Galilee. After many years of wanting a child and pouring out the sadness in his heart before God, an angel appeared to Joachim
The angel said:
"Don't be afraid. I have come to tell you the Lord has heard
your prayers. He knows how good you are and he knows your many
years of sorrow for having no child. God will give your wife
a child ....your wife Ann will bear you a daughter.
You shall call her Mary and dedicate her to God, for she will
be filled with the Holy Spirit from her mother's womb."
