I've felt strongly drawn to St Kateri since the early summer when I first "discovered" her.  Her simple life and devotion to Christ have been an inspiration to me.  Also, since my great grandmother was a Native American, I am immensely proud that St Kateri is the first Native American to be canonized.   So, now I present another item in what is quickly becoming my "line" of St Kateri Tekakwitha rosaries, rosary bracelets and chaplets.  :)  If you would like to learn more about St Kateri, please visit my blog post  http://strengthen-your-brethren.blogspot.com/2012/07/st-kateri-tekakwitha-lily-of-mohawks.html

The striking Aves in this rosary bracelet are 8mm re-constituted howlite. It is turquoise colored with patches of light brown with a black matrix. They remind me of stained glass windows. The Pater bead is a 10mm wood stone bead. It really looks like wood., but is actually stone. St Kateri had a special devotion to the cross, so I used the cross extender to add length to the bracelet. All of the components are silver colored metal.  Please click here to learn more about this bracelet.  Please visit my shop LaudeArtsandGifts.com to see more of my handcrafted rosaries and chaplets.

St Kateri Rosary Bracelet with Amazonite

St Kateri Rosary Bracelet at Laude Arts and Gifts

St Kateri Tekakwitha is the first Native American to be beatified. She was born in 1656. As young girl, she contracted small pox and her face was terribly disfigured by the disease. She converted to Catholicism as a young woman and because of this she was shunned by her tribe. She suffered greatly because of her faith. She was devoted to the Eucharist and cared for the sick and elderly. Like St. Therese, she died at the tender age of 24  After her death, the terrible scars that left her so disfigured from small pox cleared up leaving her with a smooth beautiful complexion.  She was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1980 and she will be canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on Oct 21, 2012. She is the patron of the environment and ecology.

Because of this, I chose 8mm Amazonite beads for the Aves to represent the sea and the sky and 3mm bronze spacers along with an 8mm man made African turquoise bead for the Pater to represent the earth. The crucifix, St Kateri charm and toggle clasp are silver colored metal.  Please click here to learn more about this bracelet.  Please visit my shop, LaudeArtsandGifts.com to see more of my rosary bracelets and rosaries. 

St Kateri Tekakwitha Rosary Bracelet with Aqua Terra Jasper

St Kateri Tekakwitha Rosary Bracelet

St Kateri Tekakwitha is the first Native American to be beatified. She was born in 1656. As young girl, she contracted small pox and her face was terribly disfigured by the disease. She converted to Catholicism as a young woman and because of this she was shunned by her tribe. She suffered greatly because of her faith. She was devoted to the Eucharist and cared for the sick and elderly. Like St. Therese, she died at the tender age of 24. She was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1980 and she will be canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on Oct 21, 2012. She is the patron of the environment and ecology.

Because of this, I chose Aqua Terra Jasper for the Avé beads in this bracelet. The name means water and earth...an appropriate name for the saint of the environment and ecology.  They are beautiful irregular, chunky beads. The Pater bead is 10mm Red Creek Jasper bead which gives a nice contrast to the Aqua Terra Jasper. The crucifix is silver colored metal and is stamped "ITALY" on the back. The charm honoring Blessed Kateri is silver colored as are the other components in the bracelet.  Please click here to learn more about this bracelet.   If you would like to see more bracelets and rosaries honoring St Kateri, please click here  or visit my shop LaudeArtsandGifts.com.  Thank you for looking.
