This rosary is even more beautiful in person than I expected. The square wood beads give it a unique, handcrafted feel, and the gold crucifix is absolutely stunning, elegant without being flashy, and full of reverence. Itās the kind of piece that immediately feels special the moment you hold it.
As someone who attends a Franciscan parish that houses both St Francis and St Clare relics, this rosary already held deep meaning for me. But the day my priest blessed it and I was able to place it on the both relics to make it a third class relic, was profoundly moving. In a beautiful coincidence, that was the very same day the Franciscans opened the exhibit in Assisi Italy for public veneration of St Francisās remains. It felt like a moment of grace and connection across time and distance.
This rosary is not only a devotional item but a true spiritual treasure. I couldnāt be happier with it.
