That is a piece of the puzzle that is very curious, isn’t it, the sign of the cross. What did it mean?
Is she a religious person? That’s the kind of sign of the cross I think of, the “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit” said while touching one’s forehead, chest, left shoulder, and right shoulder, in that order.
But I thought of another type, after reading it said this way in this article. It says she “made the sign of the cross over her chest”. That made me picture the type where one makes closer to like an “x” on one’s chest, as in “Cross my heart”, with the meaning I promise, or I’m being sincere.
