The Paters are actually encased (in bead caps) pink Swarovski Crystal--they look solid bronze, but have a surprising sparkle in the sun!
The Cross is the San Damiano Crucifix, associated with Saint Francis of Assisi. This is a copy of the crucifix that was hanging in that broken down chapel the day that Francis, while praying there, heard Jesus say to him, "Francis, repair my church, which is in ruins." The blessed Saint thought he was being told to repair the chapel--but he soon realized Jesus had something else in mind--nothing less than the Reformation of Holy Mother Church!
This would be a fine Mother's Day gift or a special Rosary for one with a devotion to Saint Francis!
It's in the store now, priced $139. Visit the shop, or Click Here to go directly to the listing!
