Beautiful vintage Saint Thérèse of Lisieux Catholic rosary with translucent deep wine-red oval beads, gold-tone links, an aged metal crucifix and a Saint Thérèse center medal. The medal reads “SAINT THERESE PRAY FOR US” and reverses to a cross entwined with roses.
The rosary comes with its burgundy devotional storage pouch, decorated with a gold cross and roses and personalized with the name “Anita.” That little name turns it from generic religious merchandise into something that plainly belonged to somebody—which is exactly the kind of detail vintage objects are allowed to keep.
Saint & Symbolism: Saint Thérèse of Lisieux (1873–1897) is widely known as the Little Flower. Roses became closely associated with her devotional imagery, which makes the rose-entwined cross on the medal and floral pouch especially fitting rather than merely decorative.
Era: Similar rosaries with flat translucent beads, brass/gold-tone links and this style of medal are commonly associated with the mid-to-late 20th century, approximately 1960s–1980s. No maker or exact date is visible, so the range remains an informed estimate.
Estimated Measurements: approximately 24–26" overall when laid end to end; crucifix approximately 1.5–1.75" long Estimated Weight: approximately 0.1 lb Measurements and weight were estimated in the existing listing and should be confirmed when physically measured.
Condition: Vintage pre-owned condition with age-related patina and wear to the metal components and light wear to the pouch. Beads and links appear intact in the photos. Please review all photographs carefully.
