1274 Obama - Sign of the Cross

While sitting in church on Mother's Day, I was naturally multi tasking. In addition to celebrating my Mother, I was contemplating the 'sign of the cross'.

The sign of the cross is made with three fingers, because the signing is done together with the invocation of the Trinity. ... This is how it is done: from above to below, and from the left to the right, because from misery (left-liberal) we must cross over to glory (right-conservative), just as Christ crossed over from death to life, and from Hades to Paradise.

I must confess, all the above was extracted from Wikipedia at my discretion ( but my way just seems to fit).



I'm satisfied with the ';eft to right' situation; but I'm not sure about starting with the right hand. Problems: what if you don't have a right hand? Does it have something to do with what some people around the world do with their left hand?
