‘It took media elites 2,000 years to ask.’

The New York Times, under the headline, “A Hot Accessory, at the Intersection of Faith and Culture,” has unleashed its 1,400-word investigatory piece about the … Christian cross.

It seems that members of the faith wear them, on necklaces and such.

And the Times’ discovery has prompted merciless trolling online.

The New York Times just ran a 1,400-word story to explain what cross necklaces arehttps://t.co/ele7Y1tRcM

“It took 2000 years for the media elites to ask what those funny T-shaped necklaces are that everybody’s wearing,” was one snark, from Not the Bee.

“This is real. People wear crosses and the NYT is ON IT,” announced Mary Katharine Hamm.

Not the Bee explained, “Across TikTok, young Christian women have been sharing the meaning behind their own cross necklaces, saying they help cultivate a sense of belonging and connection with others. Sage Mills, a student at the University of Oklahoma who has posted videos about her cross necklace, said that seeing women in government like Ms. Leavitt and Ms. Bondi wear their own ‘makes me feel good. It makes me feel like God is the important thing for people that are governing our world.’”

It continued, “The Times has the history lesson for anyone confused by this strange symbol. The cross, a symbol most associated with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, first emerged during the Roman Empire when it was an instrument of mass torture, said Robert Covolo, a theologian and associate pastor at Christ Church Sierra Madre near Los Angeles. By the 4th century, Mr. Covolo said that Christians had begun to use the cross as an emblem of their religion. Not long after, the cross became a focal point for daily jewelry. Cross jewelry dating as far back as the 5th century is prevalent in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.”

The report said, “Think about it: A 1,500 word article … in what used to be the most prominent newspaper in the world … explaining the cross to an American audience.”

Twitchy also had assembled some of the comments:

Does anyone know if these crosses symbolize something, or are they just a random shape?

Big if true

I love it when they report on normal Americans like an alien tribe

The fact that this piece got through the Times’s editorial process without anyone saying, “um . . . guys?” shows exactly why the press always seems so clueless about the country it is supposed to cover. https://t.co/qFtUhNWYiQ https://t.co/EwVX5VEt6t
