I want to see a thread with pictures of YOUR own Rosary beads!
What do you carry everyday?
Any special story about them?

I’ll start

Here’s my Rosary. It’s old, ratty, and doesn’t even have the Hail Holy Queen medal, but I love it. I don’t care how plain it looks because it is well loved, always being pulled out of my pocket and ready for use.

I keep it in my pocket as is, next to my phone, keys, and wallet because just like those other things, I never leave home without it.

Also shown is my ring “tenner”, perfect for my on the go devotions.

I have a bunch of broken ones I’m very fond of, but I need to get repaired. These are two of the ones I’m using at the moment.

The light green one is sort of a cat’s-eye.

I really like the ladder rosary-- that thing is indestructible! 💚 I think I got that one from eBay; they’re hard to find in the wild. 🙂
 
A wonderful thread. These beads I bought from the Clear Creek Abbey Benedictine Monks during the time Jesus was calling me.
I was born Baptized and First Communion in church, then due to divorce I was separated from church for 50+ years.
During this first conversion period I had many experiences. One day as I was scanning channels I came to the (above) monks singing in chant their Hours. I was so touched I looked them up online, and then saw they made rosaries and I sent for one. When it arrived, I hung it over my nightstand lamp and left it there. I never had a devotion to the rosary and when I was little and was never introduced to it.
This rosary hung there maybe a year or more , it being after that time, one morning I awoke suddenly with
a start and hearing in my heart to call a Catholic priest. I did! this was the day I returned to the Catholic Church.
I’ve collected many rosaries since 2012, but this rosary I pray, and is always a reminder that God loves us so much, desires us and never abandons us. JMJ+

I have several, but this is my favorite.

Amethyst and quartz. I made it when I decided to come home to the Catholic Church. It is always with me.
 
I have several Rosaries but this one is my go-to. Made by Rugged Rosaries. I’ve touched it to a whole bunch of Padre Pio relics and put a medal of him on it along with one of Mary/ Joseph and the one with St. Michael/ Guardian Angel that it came with. It’s also been touched to a whole lot of places “where Jesus walked” and dipped in the Jordan. It’s less than 2 years old but has had a busy life already and the silver is coming off the pater skulls from being said a lot.

I bought them in Rome. I am not Catholic but I do like to pray the Rosary.
They were sold in St. Peter’s square. They are made in wood. Probably not blessed. But I believe the prayer blesses too.

Here’s mine:

This Christmas it will be 2 years old. I have attached a miraculous medal as well as a medal of St. Anthony of Padua (so it won’t get lost!). It was made by Rugged Rosaries. You really can’t go wrong with them. When holding it, it seems bulky and heavy, but I’m able to fold it up in such a way that when I put it in my pocket, it doesn’t take up much space, and doesn’t even feel like it’s there!
 
I had a green and white one just like that, but it broke a few months ago.
 
The rosary on the left with the Cross of St. Benedict is the one I carry everywhere in my pocket. The larger one on the right with hematite beads is one I often use at home.

I have several rosaries and will try to get a picture of the two I use the most, later.

This coming January, a good friend of mine is going with a group from our church to visit The Holy Land and she’s going to bring a rosary home for me. It was recommended to their group during one of their meetings, to touch the rosary to the many places Jesus had touched or had been, so I’m really looking forward to receiving it!

These are two of my favourite rosaries. The wooden one has been touched to many relics and holy places. The stone one was given to me as a gift by a very dear friend.
 
I don’t have a device for taking photos but mine looks exactly like the one below. I use it only at home and it hangs on a small Scottish flag beside my chair.

These are my most used beads. As you can tell, I like to collect them. The two brown ones I pray with on holy days and glorious mysteries. The black pair is for the sorrowful mysteries or if praying for a recently departed soul. The redish wooden pair is for use in the car or to keep in my pocket in case of emergency. The blue pair is for First Saturday’s and joyful mysteries. I use the St Benedict and blue pairs interchangeably for the joyful mysteries. The St Benedict pair has been blessed by the Holy Father.

Yeah, when I need to drive or use my hands, rosary goes around my neck (or wrist if it’s one of my tiny ones) and I just count prayers on my fingers.
