Greenstone (Nephrite Jade) Celtic Cross Rosary, Miraculous Medal Center Medal
$55.00
This rosary has 8mm round greenstone beads for the 5 decades of Hail Marys, so it is a full-size rosary. Each bead has been individually linked with silver rosary wire to give the rosary nice flow through the hands in use.
The Our Father prayer bead are larger faceted greenstone beads at 10mm round and are finished with wee silver end caps and Swarovski crystals. I've wire-wrapped these beads to provide extra strength through the rosary - and to give the set that unique handmade appearance.
The center medal is an ornate Miraculous Medal of Our Lady, also known as the medal of the Immaculate Conception. In this medal, the Virgin Mary stands on a globe of the world, and Grace flows from her outstretched hands. On the back of the medal is her monogram surrounded by 12 stars, one for each of the 12 Apostles who founded the first church.
The cross is a Celtic design featuring the never-ending Celtic knot both front and back. The origins of this traditional Irish design are now lost in the mists of time, but one meaning is that it shows how our spiritual and physical lives are intertwined.
Length from center back to end of crucifix: 19.5 inches / 49cm;
Cross: 1.2 inches / 3cm tall.
A lovely rosary that feels cool and smooth in your hands as you pray the rosary. The smaller sized beads make this is good choice for those who prefer a lighter, more compact rosary - and are just the right size for young fingers too. The rosary comes in a handmade lined pouch to keep it in.
