We chose leopard jasper to bring to mind Christ's wounds, as it looks quite a bit more real than the traditional shiny red beads that normally go with these chaplets. The Holy Wounds Chaplet was created by Father Paul Aloysius, the sixth superior general of the Passionists, and approved by Pope Leo XII in 1823, as a devotion to the Five Holy Wounds of our risen Saviour. The Passionist Archives have a comprehensive guide to this devotion.

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!
