More Details
Praying with our Touch of Summer Rosary is like praying in a garden. Flowers are part of the structure of each bead. They are not just surface images. A side view of the beads shows that the lines of the petals go all the way through. For centuries, glassmakers have made these Millefiori beads. The term for these beads is from two Italian words meaning Beads with a Thousand Flowers. Although artisans made these types of beads in other countries, they became best known in Murano, Italy.
Because of the weight of these beads, we decided to wire-wrap them. The Our Father beads have more wraps than the other beads. The center medal is an image of Our Blessed Mother praying, surrounded by flowers. The inspiration for this rosary was with the help of a 6-year-old designer, E.G.
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.
Choosing a Rosary that is Right for You
How it Makes a Difference
Shopping for a rosary is an important decision. How a rosary looks, feels, and lasts can make a difference in our experience of prayer.
Find One That Inspires Prayer
Rosaries should suit us so that we want to pray with them. When a rosary is unique and fits our personality and prayer style, it can help motivate us to pray.
Look for a Good Fit
I remember one of my rosaries that didn’t leave enough room for my fingers to fit in between the beads. They would sometimes slip out of place while I was trying to pray. Rosaries should be so comfortable that we forget they are in our hands while we are deep in prayer.
Choose a Reliable Rosary
The function of a rosary is to keep track of the prayers. They should be sturdy enough to stand the test of time. Before I learned to make them, I remember the disappointment of broken rosaries. I used to try to repair them with tweezers. When a rosary is well-made, it frees our mind and heart to pray more deeply.
The Artisan Difference
Artisans put their time and heart into designing and making rosaries. They loop the wire to attach the beads one at a time. They pay attention to the details that will make their rosaries last.
