r/rosary

This one was super fun to make! I was trying to pull colors from the center for the seed beads, turned into accidental rainbow!
Hail Marys are 6x4 rondelle crystals
Our fathers are (8-10mm?) faceted fluorite
Im thinking of giving away devotion items or starting up a shop.. this is too fun!

Hello, Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

I'm a knight of Immaculate and this is my Rosary. There's no day without at least 10 Hail Marys.

Commander of my 'battalion' requested us to pray the Crucifixion Mystery everyday till the death. Additionally I regularly adopt unborn babies with my wife, so it's another mystery per day.

Ave Maria! 💙

So privileged to have permission from
The renowned artist Raul Berzosa to use some of h s artwork in my rosaries. This taken from his painting of the finding in the temple.

All of the except the St.John Paul II (it was blessed by JP II during his pontifficate) were blessed by pope Francis, the St Ignatius Loyola, St Nicholas and St Thomas Aquinas are Third class relics. And the medals on them are St Benedict, holy family, miraculous, divine Mercy, our Lady of seven sorrows, our Lady of Mount Carmel, our Lady of perpetual help, and Saint Michael, the Archangel/guardian angel.

I have like 50+ of these so I can make them third class relics if you request I have like 200+ and send them over for just shipping

Pray for us

My first time making a paracord Rosary with more than just barrel knots. Usually the ones that I make are very simple.

I could have done better positioning the knots on the drop and making it all a little more compact but overall I'm happy with how this turned out.

What do you all think?

Blue.

Got this rosary from Runewood Rosaries right around Easter. The purple beads remind me of how I still need to be penitential all throughout the year. Highly recommend checking them out!

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to share this beautiful rosary I purchased from a maker on here. I’m not sure how to link him, but I will see if he can say something!

I ordered this from the maker of Hilltop Rosaries (based out of LA, USA). https://www.etsy.com/shop/HilltopRosariesCo

He was delightful to work with (very patient and accommodating with all my questions and whimsies). There’s also a St. Francis medal with the the Peace Prayer on the back.

It’s large enough I don’t lose it, and bright enough that it brings me joy each time I pray with it and see it.

I also wanted to share that I did purchase Fr. Patrick Peyton’s rosary book, and I find it so delightful. It was recommended here, and I so appreciate who recommended it! I have read many rosary reflections, bought many books, and this book is my favorite so far. I did buy an older copy, so it does not include the luminous mysteries… There was a review that the new one doesn’t preserve the lyricism of the original, so I wanted to have the prayer as intended. Perhaps I’ll eventually look into the new book.

My faith-related notebook of sorts; I have books I’ve read, books I’d like to read, track novenas and praying, write down different chaplets, devotions, prayers and things I’ve learned. It’s kind of a mish mash of a commonplace book and diary.

I must admit, the color palette together makes me happy, too. It feels harmonious to me — I know, just superficial aesthetics, quite silly of me.

Hope everyone is having a lovely day! What has helped you pray lately?

This rosary took me months to design and find all the components but it’s something close to my heart since I’ve been to almost every apparition represented.

The rosary represents all nine Vatican approved Marian apparition.

The crucifix is a reproduction of the one held by Our Lady in La Salette, France.

The first Our Father bead represents the crucifix held by Our Lady in Pontmain, France.

The 3 golden hearts represent the apparitions of Our Lady in Belgium which occured in 1932 and 1933 in Beauraing and Bannuex. Our Lady’s title in Beauraing is Our Lady of the Golden Heart.

The center medal is Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal which represents the Rue du Bac apparition to St. Catherine Laboure and also the one to Alphonse Ratisbonne in Rome.

The Rosary then goes in chronological order. The first decade represents the Guadalupe apparitions with teal beads with stars on it, resembling Our Lady’s mantle on the tilma.

The second decade is made of blue globe beads, representing the world, the globe Our Lady held at Rue du Bac, Paris, France.

The next decade are water drop shaped beads representing Lourdes water.

Then next are rose shaped beads representing the Golden Rose given by Pope John Paul II to the Knock Shrine and also alluding to the beloved hymn “Lady of Knock” sung at the Knock Shrine daily.

The last decade represent the Immaculate Heart of Mary of Fatima. The medal has Our Lady of Mt. Carmel as she appeared during the Miracle of the Sun and the Sacred Heart of Jesus as a golden statue of the Sacred Heart towers over the center of the Fatima Sanctuary.

Every decade is has medals representing each apparition in between each decade and all decades are united by a different shade of Marian blue.
