Stations of the Cross Chaplet Hematite Pocket Version

This pocket version of the Stations of the Cross chaplet features 14 10mm hematite beads. Hematite looks very much like metal, but is actually a mineral composed largely of ferrous oxide. Genuine hematite is slightly magnetic and is quite heavy. It gives this chaplet a nice substantial feel. Each of the beads is wrapped in wire that has 99.9% pure silver plated onto it. The crucifix is a third class relic with some dirt from the foot of the cross. The back of the crucifix features intricately carved Stations of the Cross with an image of the Eucharist in the center. The medal honors Our Lord as the Suffering Servant and the reverse of the medal honors Our Lady of Sorrows also known as the Mater Dolorosa.  Please click here to learn more about this chaplet and please visit my shop, The Rosary Works, to see more of my unbreakable, wire wrapped, rosaries and chaplets.

Pope Francis Rosary with Stations of the Cross

Like many people, Catholics and non-Catholics alike, I am enthralled with Pope Francis. His is a singular and inspiring witness to the absolute simplicity and humility of the Christian journey. For this reason, I wanted to make a rosary to honor him.

With this in mind, this is a simple rosary. The Ave's are 6.5mm black onyx beads, The Paters are 10mm black onyx beads. All of the beads have simple 3mm bead caps at either end. The center has an image honoring Pope Francis on the front and an image of his Coat of Arms on the back. The Stations of the Cross crucifix has the all of the Stations of the Cross on the back. Both the center and crucifix are silver colored metal.  Please click here to learn more about this rosary and pleased visit my shop Holy Name Rosaries to see more of my rosaries and chaplets.
