āMy Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to God.ā
āIn the end,Ā My Immaculate Heart will triumph.ā
These words of Our Lady have inspired this new rosary, dedicated to the 100th Anniversary of the Fatima Apparitions.
OUR LADY OF FATIMA 100TH ANNIVERSARY ROSARY
Original, detailed and exclusive design from Ghirelli
This truly one-of-a-kind rosary offers breathtaking detail to honor the momentous event that happened in Portugal a century ago:
The Crucifix: characterized by the "Via" --Ā the Way, or path that leads to the refuge of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.The Crucifix embodies the words of Our Lady āMy Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the way that will lead you to Godā.Ā We have chosen to symbolically place the three little shepherds as the first to travel the "Via" and walk on the path so clearly indicated by Our Lady.
The top part of the Crucifix takes shape from the actual colonnaded Basilica at Fatima in Portugal. When the Basilica is viewed from the front it actually looks like a cross. This is Fatima -- the shining place of grace -- chosen in God's plan for the Apparitions of Our Lady.
As for the imagery conveyed by The Centerpiece: The Immaculate Heart is opened to represent the passage through which we are called to enter. The thorns represent our difficulties ... but the steady gaze of Our Lady, in profile, watches and promises aid into the safe haven of her Immaculate Heart. The back of The Centerpiece contains the wonderful words of hope Our Lady proclaimed: āIn the end,Ā My Immaculate Heart will triumph.ā
This exclusive rosary is made with Cobalt Blue 6mm Bohemian glass beads, and White 7mm Bohemian glass Our Father beads. Includes a faux leatherette imprinted pouch and full color brochure insert.
