To commemorate the Association's pilgrimage to Italy and visit to Saint Peter's Square in Rome, I have a unique rosary to offer you.
The 7mm round hematite beads shimmer like a mirror in whatever direction the rosary moves. The silver-oxidized centerpiece is an image of Pope Francis on the front with the Papal coat of arms on the back. Each Our Father bead is flat and also made from a silver-oxidized metal with an image of the Basilicas of Saints Peter, Paul, John Lateran, and Mary Major.
As a final touch, the Pope Francis Rosary is adorned with the Good Shepherd pectoral cross. A pectoral cross has been worn by popes since the year 811 and is typically made of gold, adorned with jewels and precious stones. Pope Francis refused the customary gold cross and chose instead to wear the silver cross with no stones which was given to him as a gift from a friend. The images that appear on Pope Francis' pectoral cross represent Jesus as he leads a flock of sheep. As we know, Pope Francis is well on his way of molding his legacy as the "good shepherd" pontiff.
This well constructed rosary is 20 inches long and comes in a nice presentation box. I would be happy to send you this Pope Francis Rosary, blessed at our Lady's Shrine. I'm sure this special rosary is one you will treasure for yourself or will make a wonderful gift for someone you love.
