PATER BEADS: 10mm Fine grained wood for simplicity. 

CROSS:  VICTORY OVER ADAM’s SIN – late 1700’s – (2.5 in.) Cast from a piece over 100 years old.

This rosary is made all in one loop following tradition. This design also does not tangle or knot as easily as the pendant design. 

FATHER ANDREW WHITE (1579-1656) Born in England, educated and taught in Spain and France. Catholic Priests were not allowed in England at this time so he went to Maryland on the ship ‘Ark’ where he said the first Mass. Eventually, after much good work and the establishment of St Mary’s City, he along others were captured by Protestants and send back to England where they were tried. The courts found them not guilty. Because of this, St Mary’s City Maryland is considered the birthplace of religious tolerance.
