More Details
The Saint Joseph the Worker rosary honours his feast day on May 1st. We chose olive wood beads because carpenters in Nazareth during that era would have used locally sourced hardwoods, such as olive wood, oak, and cypress. Olive wood was extremely common and remains well known for its durability and beautiful grain patterns.
The small oval bead shape makes the rosary the perfect size to fit in a pocket. A glass dome protects his image at the center, which depicts him looking at the child Jesus in his workshop. Handcrafted, classic links join the beads. Wire-wrapped bows connect the primary components, ensuring secure connections.
How Olive Wood is Harvested Responsibly
Not an Endangered Species
Olive trees are not an endangered species. They have been growing in the Holy Land on the same root systems for thousands of years. These roots grew the trees that could have shaded Jesus and His disciples. Pictured is an ancient olive tree in the Garden of Gethsemane.
What Pruning Does
Seasonal pruning of these perennial trees encourages new growth. Trees remain undamaged from the harvesting of the wood. After drying the pruned branches, artisans make the wood into beads and other items.
Why We Love These Beads
Olive wood has been popular since ancient times because of its density, fine texture, and the details of its grains. These smooth, durable beads have unique grain and marbling details. They look amazing on any rosary.
