St. Kateri Tekakwitha Rosary with Aqua Terra Jasper Unbreakable

The Ave beads in this rosary are 8mm Aqua Terra Jasper. The name means water and earth. Since St Kateri is the patron saint of the environment, I thought they were especially fitting for a rosary made in her honor. These beads are pale blue with pale tan swirls. Some of them have a beautiful reddish tinge to them. The Pater beads are a cluster of amber colored jasper and carnelian. All of the beads have a swirl of silver plated wire going up the side for extra detail. The crucifix and center are silver colored metal.  Please click here to learn more about this rosary and please visit my shop, HolyNameRosaries.com to see more of my unbreakable rosaries and chaplets.

Lazo Wedding Rosary

Lazo Wedding Rosary at LaudeArtsandGifts.com

The Lazo or Lasso Rosary has Mexican origins. Basically, a Lazo rosary is two full rosaries joined together by one crucifix. It symbolizes the union of the bride and groom in marriage. Traditionally, the godparents or sponsors of the couple getting married place the rosary around the bride's neck and around the groom's neck during the wedding ceremony. Special prayers are then said to join them in Holy Matrimony. After the wedding, one of two things can be done. Some couples keep the rosary so that they can use it to pray together and then later pass it along to their children when they get married. Other couples break the rosary down into two separate rosaries. Then they give one rosary to the bride's mother and the other to the groom's mother as keepsakes of the wedding.

The Pater beads in this rosary are comprised of handmade wedding cake beads, the Aves are white Czech glass beads.   The crucifix and the three centers are lead free pewter.   Please click here to learn more about this stunning rosary.   Also, please visit my shop at LaudeArtsandGifts.com to view more of my rosaries and chaplets.
