Not really. It's related to crycc, which is also related to the modern word "cross" as well as "crutch" - hence, the medieval Crutched Friars (who wore crosses on their habits) and the oath "Christ on a crutch!", which originally referred to the crucifixion, not Jesus limping around on a modern crutch.

How do you pronouce "crosier"? No IPA please--I'm in the 99.9% demographic of mankind to whom IPA is meaningless. :) Just type it phonetically, please. 74.227.255.79 (talk) 05:42, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to American Heritage, it's KRO-zhur. ZH as in "vision", and the U is a schwa (like the A in "about"). Elmo iscariot (talk) 14:20, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Any evidence that the crosier bears any historic relation to Egyptian scepters? The reference cited doesn't seem to be authoritative (or remotely related to either crosiers or Egyptian scepters), and the claim seems like a post hoc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.254.251.67 (talk) 16:26, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, very weird to see a claim that the christian crosier is originated from the Egyptian crosier... more it is from the Shepard's crosier. Besides, I doubt the Rod of Aaron was copied from egyptians either...75.73.114.111 (talk) 22:17, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit surprised to see that there isn't a mention of the crosier being descended from the lituus in the lead. Or for that matter, such a brief mention. In ecclesiastic Latin, the proper term for it is "littus episcopi". It's not simply speculative; there's extensive documentation of it, as there is for the majority of vestments and liturgical implements (being co-opted, that is).

Hi Wikipedias, the content added by IP 196.201.199.155 is a possible vandal edit. Please verify (content revision). Thanks, SWP13 (talk) 17:23, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you think so? Is the source untrustworthy, and have you cross-checked the article Lituus? It all looks above-board to me.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 18:30, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Piers Compton dedicated a free e-book to the particular and non-Christian shape of the crosier of Pope Paul VI and all his successors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.56.59.207 (talk) 20:30, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
