HISTORY OF THE PENAL CHAPLET/ROSARY:
The Penal Rosary was developed from a long and sad history of the people of Ireland. But for some unknown reason, it is finding a new life all over the praying world, possibly because of world events. It is often known as “AN PAIDRIN BEAG”, THE LITTLE ROSARY. THE LONG NARROW CROSS (Penal cross) was traditionally thought to come from the need to hide it under one’s sleeve as if caught praying the rosary, it could mean death. But they were carved from wood and sold to pilgrims who came to the holy site “Loch Derg”. Arms were kept short as they had a tendency to break off. This practical response made it possible to hide up the sleeve.

HOW TO PRAY: Start by putting the ring on your first finger. On the the crucifix, pray the PATER NOSTER and then pray the 10 AVE BEADS up to the ring. Transfer ring to next finger, repeat prayers until all 5 decades are prayed.

ABOUT OUR MEDALS: All medals on our website are hand cast from antiques and vintage pieces in sterling silver and solid bronze then antiqued to restore original patina.
