"Rejoice heartily, daughter Zion,
shout for joy, O daughter Jerusalem!
See, your king shall come to you;
a just savior is he. ..."

 This is an Awe-inspiring rosary - about 27 inches - and a real
refuge of comfort. The center pendant of Our Lady, in the
familiar motif of Our Lady of Sorrows, is stoneware made by
 hand and  trimmed in gold. It might be my imagination, but it seems
 that Mary is smiling. The resplendent crucifix is substantial and
wonderfully detailed in solid bronze hand cast from an antique
original. The Ave beads are buri seeds - they look and feel like glass -
in earth tones of deep brown and rich cream. The ample bronze Pater
 beads  are meticulously finished roses and simply beautiful. This grand
rosary is smooth and glides easily through the hands.
