Why Buy Handmade Prayer Items?

Sacred Art

Whether simple or ornate, handmade prayer items can stir our longing for God.

“Genuine sacred art draws us to adoration, to prayer, and to the love of God, Creator and Saviour, the Holy One and Sanctifier.” [Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2502]

The Artisan Tradition

Artisans make handmade items for prayer in the tradition of Christian artisan design. They combine creativity with quality and uniqueness.

Buying handmade encourages artisans and helps preserve traditional skills.  It celebrates the artist’s creativity, time, and heart. Authentic creations are durable and unique. Artisans give particular attention to detail to each piece.

Benefits of Handmade Prayer Items

UNIQUE

A handmade original has the artisan’s personal touch. Its authenticity makes it stand apart from its factory-made counterparts. For example, we use hand-held tools to bend the wire or knot the cord that secures the beads. We add the extra details that make them one of a kind.  Our Crucifixes are creatively designed with unique pieces of wood.

QUALITY

Artisans choose timeless quality over quantity. Each piece combines the integrity of durable materials with a reliable design. The result is a  Crucifix or rosary that lasts and works well for prayer.  For example, a rosary artisan carefully makes wire loops consistent and rounded. The curved shape allows the rosary to turn with the movement of the beads during prayer. 

MADE FOR PRAYER

A well-made Crucifix draws the mind and heart to prayer. A quality handmade rosary is comfortable to handle during prayers. It is sturdy with enough room for your fingers between the beads. The quality of the design frees the heart and mind to pray more deeply.

ECO-FRIENDLY

Handmade items reduce the environmental impact in several ways. Because they are well-made, they cut down on the frequency of replacements. You can also request re-used packaging to ship your items and help reduce landfill waste.

We also re-purpose materials where possible. We make our Crucifixes and Crosses with donated wood when available. That keeps the costs down and saves on waste. We use leather scraps from an upholstery factory to make rosary cases. When we use hand-held tools to make rosaries, it lessens their carbon footprint. We purchase olive wood beads made from the annual tree pruning. Also, the proceeds from our sales help the poorest of the poor worldwide.

Why Handmade Quality Matters to Us

A Crucifix in the family home is a reminder to pray.  It can become an heirloom for younger generations.
