Penance and Mercy Rosary with Bohemian Glass

The Penance and Mercy Rosary with Bohemian Glass is inspired by the infinite mercy of Jesus Christ, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and the profound spiritual message of Divine Mercy revealed to Saint Faustina Kowalska.

The design recalls the words of Jesus recorded in Saint Faustina's Diary:

“When you go to confession, know that I myself am waiting for you in the confessional.” — Diary of Saint Faustina Kowalska

At the heart of the Rosary, the two-sided centerpiece brings together the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy and Refuge of Sinners, and Rembrandt's celebrated masterpiece The Return of the Prodigal Son. These sacred images express the beauty of repentance, the joy of forgiveness, and God's unconditional love for those who return to Him.

The Crucifix recalls Christ's sacrifice as the ultimate expression of divine mercy, while the red and white Bohemian glass beads symbolize the Blood and Water flowing from the Heart of Jesus, as revealed in the Divine Mercy devotion.

Together, these elements create a Rosary centered on Divine Mercy, the Sacrament of Reconciliation, repentance, forgiveness, the Immaculate Virgin Mary, the Passion of Christ, and the infinite love of God.

A meaningful companion for prayer, examination of conscience, and preparation for Confession, this Rosary invites the faithful to approach God's mercy with humility, trust, and hope.

The Ghirelli® signature branding bar completes the Rosary as a mark of authenticity and Made in Italy craftsmanship.

The Crucifix represents Christ's Cross as the throne of divine love and the altar of God's infinite mercy, recalling the prayer:

“By Your Holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.”

The design invites contemplation of Jesus' Passion and the forgiveness offered through His redemptive sacrifice.

Crafted in metal with an antique silver finish, the Crucifix is enriched with hand-applied enamel inserts, emphasizing its sacred details and devotional significance.

The two-sided centerpiece brings together two profound expressions of repentance, forgiveness, and divine mercy.

On the front is a beautifully detailed sculpture of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, honored as Mother of Mercy and Refuge of Sinners. Her image recalls the maternal intercession of the Blessed Virgin, who continually guides the faithful toward reconciliation with God.

On the reverse is an extraordinary bas-relief reproduction of The Return of the Prodigal Son, painted around 1668 and preserved in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg.

The scene depicts the merciful father welcoming his repentant son, expressing the joy of forgiveness and the unconditional love of God.

The antique silver finish emphasizes the intricate sculptural details and gives the centerpiece a solemn and timeless devotional character.

The Rosary features 6 mm red and white Bohemian glass beads, arranged to represent the two rays of Divine Mercy revealed to Saint Faustina Kowalska.
- White beads: Symbolize the Water that purifies souls.
- Red beads: Symbolize the Blood of Christ, the life of souls.
The contrasting colors create a meaningful devotional composition, recalling the Blood and Water flowing from the pierced Heart of Jesus and the infinite mercy offered to humanity.

The Rosary features an antique silver finish, giving the Crucifix and centerpiece depth and a timeless devotional character.

Carefully hand-applied enamel details further enrich the Crucifix, beautifully complementing the red and white Bohemian glass beads and emphasizing the sacred symbolism of the design.
