Religious Connection...

Christian Meaning of the cliche:


- When people would be asked if they were Christian, during the years that Christianity was said to be illegal, they would cross their fingers behind their backs to ask God for forgiveness for lying. 

- The two fingers crossed resembled a cross, thus linking to the Christian faith. 



- Today, "fingers crossed" has lost all connections to Christianity.
