The Rosary is a symbolic bunch of roses that the christian offers to Mary "the mystic rose." What you have in your hands is besides a bunch of authentic roses, converted into a fine and delicate Rosary; it is a hand made jewel. In the solitude and the silence of the Carmelite convents, the beads of this "rose petal Rosary" have been linked together with filial love. In older times in these solitudes red lead manuscripts and fancy embroideries used to be made, which are today jewels in museums and libraries. The "rose petal Rosaries" are a chapter more in this long and glorious history of the monastic craft.
The length of the rosary: 20" long
The 5 mm. round crushed-rose-petal beads exude a beautiful fragrance.
The center piece is of Our Lady of Fatima and the three children on the front, and on the back there is a relic containing ground from Fatima -- "Terra de Fatima".
The rosary comes in a nice plastic container with a picture of St. Therese (the Little Flower) on the lid.
