About the rosary: The Catholic rosary is both the familiar strand of prayer beads and the structured sequence of prayers for which those beads are used. The beads are arranged to help keep one's place through repeated prayers and meditation on events known as the Mysteries of the Rosary—an old devotional design in which every bead actually has a job.
Length: approximately 18" Listed Shipping Weight: approximately 0.2 lb
Condition: Good vintage pre-owned condition with light age-related wear and patina to the metal components. Please review all photos carefully.
Origin note: The crucifix itself is marked Italy. That is a useful and searchable detail, but the available information does not establish that every component of the rosary or its storage tin was manufactured there.
