BLESSING I – BENEDICT XVI: (The Glory of the Olive).

AVE BEADS: The guild gratefully dedicates this rosary of 8mm carved olivewood beads from Bethlehem to the Holy Father who through prophetic words has been seen as the ‘Glory of the Olive.’ Although he is a diocesan priest, the order of the 6th century Benedictines is often called the ‘Olivetans’ and has as its symbol the olive branch. (Peace maker)..

PATER BEADS: Hand made cloisonne beads suggest the ‘New Springtime’ in the church. Hand made bronze bead caps are at each end. Tiny spacers of Czech glass faceted beads reflect the colors in the Pater beads.

AVAILABLE WITH EITHER ST BENEDICT MEDAL OR CRUCIFIX.

CRUCIFIX:  FOUR ROSES – vintage, unknown – (2.5 in.)”

MEDAL: ST BENEDICT TRIANGLE – antique, France/age unknown – (1.5 in.)

Rosary made in the traditional “all one loop” design without a center piece.


ABOUT OUR MEDALS: All our medals are handcast from antiques and vintage pieces in sterling silver and solid bronze then antiqued to restore original patina. We have used the old triangular medal of Benedict or you may chose the 4 rose crucifix, the roses symbolizing Mary in the life of the new Pope. To see the traditional reverse side of the Benedictine medal, see the chaplet in this series)
