[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Small cross over each doorway. [b]Crucifix at front and back door along with holy water fonts[/b].

We have an alcove that we've turned into a small prayer area. Family bibles, sacred and immaculate hearts, heirloom rosaries etc.[/quote]

Do people usually take holy water before entering your home?

No that is for our family as we leave. It is an old school catholic tradition. DH and I both had it growing up. We tend to gravitate towards the older pre vatican traditions. No meat on fridays, weekly confession, veiling. [/quote]

What is veiling in this context?

I find this thread very interesting. I had Catholic friends growing up but none were particularly devout so as far as I know they didn't have many religious items in the home. At least, I never saw any, not even a crucifix in the bedroom or anything.

We are Jewish and have a mezzuzzah in each doorway except for the bathroom. They are decorative as well as religious. We also have our Hannukah menorahs and Shabbat candlesticks on display as they are very pretty and we enjoy looking at them when they're not in use. And we have our ketubah -- the decorated, signed marriage contract -- hung by the front door. I think that's it. All the rest of the art is non-religious. And the other religious items are not decorative so they're put away in drawers.[/quote]
