CTR ring
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A CTR ring is a ring marked with the letters "CTR," for "Choose the right," commonly worn by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as the "LDS" or "Mormon" Church) as a reminder to act righteously, and as a symbol of their religious affiliation.
CTR rings were introduced in 1970 by then-Apostle Gordon B. Hinckley[citation needed] (the current president of the church) as part of a program for six- and seven-year-old children. In connection with the children's Sunday school program (called "Primary"), each LDS child in this age group was issued an adjustable ring with a green escutcheon bearing the letters "CTR" in silver. Helen Alldredge, a Primary General Board member in the 1960s, designed the CTR shield logo.
Over the years CTR rings have become very popular with both children and adults in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They are now available in a variety of designs in over 30 languages including Croatian.
