St Christopher 3 Decade Rosary, Agate Beads
$38.00
This 3 decade rosary features natural tree agate gemstone beads and the traditional image of Saint Christopher in the center connector. St Christopher is the patron saint of travelers, motorists and safe journeys - and also of sufferers from toothache (handy when traveling!).
A 3-decade rosary is popular for people who travel or are on the move a lot as the fewer decades make the rosary more compact, but still able to have the larger size beads for ease of use. They are also useful if you like to pray the full 6-decades of the rosary, as you just go around the beads twice.
All the beads are natural green and white tree agate, individually linked with silver rosary wire. I've wire-wrapped the larger beads to give extra strength where needed. Agate is a hard and durable stone which has been used for centuries for prayer beads, jewelry and household items - it is even mentioned in the Bible.
At the center of the rosary is a color medal of Saint Christopher, with the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the other side. This rosary would be a thoughtful gift for someone traveling themselves, or for someone praying for a traveler.
Length from mid-back to end of crucifix: 15.5" (39cm)
Center medal: 0.6" (1.5cm)
Crucifix: 1.6" (4cm)
Beads: 8mm & 10mm round tree agate.
The rosary comes in a handmade (by me) lined cotton pouch to keep it in, which is also a nice presentation for a gift.
