“She has performed a good deed for me. …Wherever in the whole world this gospel is proclaimed, what she has done will be told in remembrance of her.”
— Matthew 26:10-13

Stylized lilies adorn the crucifix of this rosary, flowers traditionally symbolic of resurrection. The crucifix is solid cast bronze.

The shape of the Paters reminds us of the lady’s alabaster jar, from which she poured the perfumed oil over Jesus’ head. His disciples were indignant at what they regarded as an extravagantly wasteful, pointless gesture — but Jesus welcomed her gift. Around the Paters are clusters of floral bead caps in solid brass and cast bronze.

The multicolored Aves are fancy jasper. At 6mm, they’re a bit smaller than those we often use, yet — thanks to their spacing — we find them easy to distinguish from one another by touch.

Separating the Aves are beads of matte glass and occasional beads of solid brass. The connecting rings are solid bronze.

The rosary is strung on premium quality Soft Flex jewelers’ cable composed of 49 strands of steel encased in nylon, with a test strength of 26 pounds; each end is double-crimped for security.
