The traditions and customs of the speaker's native land.
The poem suggests that the speaker's native land has traditional clothing, is non-violent, and practices Catholicism. By spurning, or refusing to wear, the traditional clothes, the person is rejecting her culture in favor of fashion. The desire to use weapons that are unfamiliar also does against the customs of the culture as non-violent. Lastly, the plaster saints are indicative of a Catholic religion as well as kneeling prayer.
Theme of self-reliance. Choose to be a maid apart from being forced to the role.
