r/rosary

I’m curious what kind of rosary construction people prefer for actual prayer use.

Do you prefer:

A: Chain-link / eye-pin linked
B: Paracord / knotted
C: Strung on beading wire

And why? Is it because of durability, flexibility, weight, spacing, or the way it feels in your hands?

Chaplains were given sterling rosaries; this is one of them 🙏 Everyone else got plated brass.

Just ordered.

Do any of you guys know where I can find a rosary with beads like this? I’ve had such a hard time finding one that matches, I’m hoping one of you has seen it somewhere.

Hi!!

A few weeks ago, I launched Beadlight, a new app designed to help you pray the Rosary.

The app has come a long way since its first release, with many new features, and I’m pleased to share that Beadlight is now available on both iOS and Android! 🙏

Please check it out below. I’d really appreciate any feedback (thanks for all those who already have supported it!)

It might be possible that they have stopped making this . But I want this exact one . I searched all across the internet. Someone help me . I can only trace its origin back to an Oratory ( related to holy mary ) in Raheny, Dublin, Ireland. I emailed the church there asking for help but they didn't reply . Since I'm from Kerala , I can't go there and ask about it in person.

Hi everyone, I’d like to ask for some pricing advice.

This is a handmade traditional 5-decade rosary. The beads are natural clear quartz with lapis lazuli accent beads. All the metal parts are stainless steel, including the eye pins, chain, jump rings, centerpiece, and crucifix.

Each bead is individually linked with stainless steel eye pins. It is not made with elastic cord or a single hidden wire/string. I assemble and close each loop by hand.

I’m still trying to understand fair pricing for handmade rosaries, especially when using better materials and stainless steel components. What would you consider a fair price range for a rosary like this?

Would around $60–70 be reasonable, or would that feel too high for this type of piece?

Any feedback on the materials, structure, or presentation is also welcome. Thank you.

I got creative to bring a smile to us all 💀🙏

Idk why but I made a rosary tonight after not going to Mass or praying for 2 weeks. Ive just laid in bed in pain and depressed. I know that’s not good and I’m trying. Please pray for me and my husband.

P.S. it’s my old high school colors

For some reason the colors are helping me mentally.

Good night everyone God bless

This rose rosary is a one of a kind
Each Hail Mary bead is carefully crafted from pink and white lampwork glass, hand-blown with delicate rose patterns and subtle gold glitter accents. The Pater beads are sculpted into vivid red roses
80$ for it if interested

I recently made this rosary for my son’s First Holy Communion using the crucifix and chalice centerpiece from my FHC rosary! Mine was falling apart so I repurposed the centerpiece and crucifix for this one! This has become one of his favorite and most used rosary!

Red jade beads for the Aves and black lava stones for the Paters

I've tried making a rosary for the longest time and I've always been really clumsy with the knots, this one isn't perfect but I'm really happy with how it's turned out :)

I'll use it to pray before mass tomorrow and I'm planning to have my priest bless it!

God bless all :)

Miraculous Medal is poorly made, going to put on a better one
