The Sacred Heart of Jesus is symbolized by a heart afire. Devotion to the Sacred Heart arose in about the 11th century. The focus of the devotion is to return and reflect His love of everyone.


Both the simple Coptic cross and the ebulliently expressive milagro of this 100-bead prayer rope are solid bronze. The medal hangs in front of the cross, well centered, when the prayer rope is suspended.

The prayer rope is quite long — nearly 27" from the top of the loop to the bottom of the cross. It has no clasp, but can be worn as a necklace when it's looped doubled.

The oval prayer beads are carved in Israel, of wood pruned from the ancient olive trees in Bethlehem. The variety and depth of their color is a mark of their quality. No trees were harmed in the harvesting of this wood — pruning the trees is essential to their health and continued fruitfulness.
