Sacred or Silly?

Looking for a Jewish snow globe or a Christian candy tin? Beliefnet identifies the best of religious kitsch.

By Laura Sheahen

 

 When does an item designed to assist us on our spiritual path end up instead making us laugh--or gag? Kitsch, defined by the American Heritage Dictionary as something "tawdry or vulgar," is difficult to nail down. One person's religious kitsch is another person's sacred possession. So it is with malice towards none and apologies to all that we present products whose dubious taste tickled our funny bone.

Once you've read the descriptions, tell us what you think--and be sure to vote in our poll.
