More Details
Our Sacred Heart & Hematite Rosary is ideal for someone who loves to pray but doesn’t want the rosary to take up a lot of pocket space. The oval beads make it easy to notice the Our Father prayers, even with closed eyes. Wire wrapping creates a strong connection so that the links will not come unhooked. One of the unexpected advantages is that it leaves more space between the beads. Even a rosary with smaller beads is easier to pray with.
What is Hematite?
Today’s hematite rosaries use a machine-made version of the stone. It looks and feels similar. It is also iron-grey, metallic-based, and heavy. These heavy, metallic-based beads will slowly warm up when in contact with warm hands. As you pray with them, you will feel their warmth.
Tip
TIP: Wire-wrapped rosaries will not come unhooked. The design will sometimes result in a temporary kink. There are two ways to resolve it: a gentle shake; or lifting and turning the section by hand.
What Makes a Rosary More Comfortable for Prayer?
Our Father Beads
A rosary with Our Father beads that stand apart in some way has an advantage over other rosaries. They can make it effortless to say the correct prayers on the beads, even with eyes closed while praying.
Look for a different shape, colour, or size. Also, be sure to check for caps or wire-wrapped Our Father beads.
Sturdy Connections
Unhooked links are a common structural problem for rosaries. The weight of the beads adds stress to their links.
Properly-secured loops need to be tight at every connection. Yet, they will only stay in place if the wire is stiff and strong enough to hold its shape.
Bead Caps
Enhancing a rosary with the use of bead caps adds to its character and uniqueness. However, they can work their way loose with time unless if the wire is stiff and well-rounded.
Wire-wrapping is a way to hold them consistently and securely in place. This specialized technique adds rows of wrapped wire stacked on each side of the caps.
Wire-Wrapping
Wire-wrapping on any rosary bead secures it. The extra turns in the wire add to its strength. We often wire-wrap the Our Father beads to help them stand apart. The stacked rows of wire look different from the loops on the other beads, and there is more space around them.
Added Bead Space
Sometimes, an entire rosary is wire-wrapped. A rosary with wrapped beads is more comfortable for prayer because of the added space that results from it.
