A religious wrote to ask if we know anything about Chinese decorative knots. “They are red, and come in various designs and I believe go back hundreds if not thousands of years. I’ve read they can signify different things like luck, romance, love, etc. We have received, from a Chinese Priest, holy images of Our Lord and Our Lady which are decorated with these knots. Is there anything to be concerned about there? Should we remove the decorations?”
