ARTISAN HANDMADE RELIGIOUS TREASURES

Each rare little treasure is handmade in our workshop from beads and medals that are unique and come from all over the world.  The crucifixes, centers and medals are hand cast in solid bronze from rare antique vintage pieces.  These little treasures are heirlooms that can be passed down through the generation.  We hope that you will be inspired and share our passion and devotion for sacramentals by using them to inspire others.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

O God, we thank you for this earth, our home;
For the wide sky and the blessed sun,
For the salt sea and the running water,
For the everlasting hills
And the never-resting winds,
For trees and the common grass underfoot.
We thank you for our senses
By which we hear the songs of birds,
And see the splendor of the summer fields,
And taste of the autumn fruits,
And rejoice in the feel of the snow,
And smell the breath of the spring.
Grant us a heart wide open to all this beauty;
And save our souls from being so blind
That we pass unseeing
When even the common thornbush
Is aflame with your glory,
O God our creator,
Who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

Walter Rauschenbusch

ALL SOULS DAY

Today is the day we commemorate and pray for all the faithful departed.

REQUIEM ETERNAM
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.  May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

PRAYER OF ST. GERTRUDE THE GREAT

Our Lord dictated the following prayer to St. Gertrude the Great to release 1,000 Souls from Purgatory each time it is said.

"Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, thosse in my own home and within my family. Amen."

ROSARY FOR THE DEAD

This rare and unique Rosary for the Dead is strung with beautiful glass pearl beads. There are four decades in this rosary and the 40 beads symbolize the 40 hours that Christ spent between the crucifixion and the resurrection. The pater beads are vintage bronze roses which represent a crown of roses, a spiritual bouquet given to our Blessed Mother. The crucifix called Via Dolorosa (the road Jesus walked with the cross to Golgotha) is handcast in solid bronze from a rare vintage antique piece. It shows Jesus carrying the cross framed by angels, flowers and a heart on the bottom. The rosary center is a beaded vintage Mary. The rosary is 19" long and the crucifix is 2".  Rosary can be found on rosarium.etsy.com

SACRAMENTALS

Wearing sacramentals increases our devotion and reminds us of daily prayer. A simple saint necklace that can be worn all the time or with more than one necklace.

ALL SAINTS DAY

Nothing can bring us into close contact with the beauty of Christ himself other than the world of beauty created by faith and light that shines out from the faces of the saints, through 
whom his own light becomes visible.
