London, Britain (AHN) -- A British Airway's employee was suspended from her job after she was found wearing a necklace with a cross, a symbol of Christ's cruxifixion.

Nadia Eweida, 55, was suspended because she failed to follow the airline's regulations, a top British Airway's official said.

In reply, Eweida insisted that she was wearing the cross as an expression of her deep Christian faith.

According to the Daily Mail, the airline's uniform code states that staff must not wear visible jewelery or other 'adornments' while on duty without permission from management.
