Coral, especially red coral necklaces were often used in Medeival and Renaissance paintings of the Holy Infant and Madonna to symbolize Jesus' eventual crucifixion and sacrifice.

 

Howlite is crystalline mineral found in sedimentary rock first identified in 1868 by Henry How, after he was alerted to a nuisance rock in a gypsum mine in Nova Scotia that was difficult to excavate. Because it is porous and naturally white, it is easy to dye, and its veining texture makes it a common substitute for turquoise.

 

Our Lady of Fatima appeared to three children every month between May and October of 1917. In addition to prophecies and the Miracle of the Sun at her last appearance, she request the children and others pray the rosary every day, adding the prayer “Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in most need of thy mercy.” at the end of each decade.

Our goal is to provide you a rosary, not just sell you a rosary. We use only stainless steel eyepins, linkages, and jump rings for both their strength and durability. If there is any defect in the workmanship of a rosary you purchase from us, please let us know, and we will make it right, free of charge, including shipping, within the first year of purchase. Also, for as long as we make rosaries (a lifetime, we hope!), if a rosary we made for you ever has a broken linkage, eyepin, or jump ring, we will be happy to repair it, with cost limited to shipping. Whatever we can do to keep you praying!
