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
