"Step by Step" - Maple Wood Handmade Rosary
"You have only one model, Jesus.
Follow, follow, follow him step by step,
imitating him, sharing his life in every way."
— Blessed Charles de Foucauld
Simple, all-in-one-loop rosary... This one is smaller than most of our other rosaries. We don't see a lot of all-in-one-loop rosaries nowadays, but they were the norm until a just few centuries ago.
The crucifix is one of our favorites. It's solid bronze, hand-cast from a vintage Russian original.
The Ave beads are plain, unfinished maple wood — they'll darken a bit with use. It was quite a challenge to find beads of this quality, and in this nice 7mm size — it took years of searching — well worth the effort.
The Paters are hand-carved Mali wood, set between small beads of solid brass.
Separating the prayer beads are smaller beads of dark brown matte glass.
Crucifix: 1.5"
Aves: 7mm
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.
