( I was raised Mennonite.) Needless to say I didn't own a rosary until about 20 years ago I got one off e bay. Since then I've slowly gathered more and like them for their beauty as well as their religious significance.Granny Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858237999602347848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-90037582849145815542021-06-03T16:39:06.712-06:002021-06-03T16:39:06.712-06:00How wonderful to learn about rosaries.

I did not realize there were different parts like that to a rosary. It may be wrong, but I have always been a bit envious of Catholics having them....I am a tactile person and love having things in my hands (perhaps why I am drawn to stones and crystals)...I could almost feel the cool smooth beads of this beautiful one. Can't wait to see the pale blue/peach! And it seems especially fitting that you use broken/discarded pieces. It is like keeping alive a bit of all the prayers said with them. I would never be able to do something like that one my bed with MY cats. One of them is a terrible kleptokitty. And we get to see photos of Red when???

She always had a rosary with her and often just ran her fingers over the beads in the manner of worry beads. One of the most profound things I saw was at my brother's funeral. My parent's neighbor came into the funeral home just before services began. She signed the guest book then strode directly to my brother. She knelt and said the rosary. She then quietly left. She was not only comforted by her religion but she knew exactly what to do in that instance. It has been 50 years and I still feel awe when I think about it. I would be honored if someone like you were to remember me when I am gone.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-80936193711661556822021-06-03T10:29:24.803-06:002021-06-03T10:29:24.803-06:00This are beautiful.
