    Yes, you can wear shindu and red bracelets.

    As far as I know, there isn't a dress code for Christians, as long as they're decently covered. You can generally wear whatever you please.

    There are some odd sects that have strange attire (look at the women in the polygamous Mormon cult) but most mainstream Christians can wear just about anything.

    What is shindu? Is there a pagan symbolism attached to wearing red bracelets? There is no prohibition in Christianity about women wearing bangles.

    My godmother was also Christian, and she still wore them.
