Show off your favorite rosary and tell us why it is your favorite, or post your odd or interesting rosaries…
 
Mine is hematite, an iron oxide. It is heavy an so I know when it is in my pocket and when it is not. It is made of metal and so it is manly, yet I love the miraculous medal of Our Lady with roses around her. The metal spheres slide effortlessly through my fingers…



I also use a $4 rope rosary made by school children when I feel kinda Franciscan-ish. 😉

This is my rosary. I bought it on ebay. It’s millefiori glass beads with copper metal. It’s special to me because it’s mine 😛 The flowers on the millefiori beads are MANLY FLOWERS that smell like industrial steel, gunpowder, and bear sweat.

It’s a large crucifix, with a sacred heart imprinted on the back of it with the words “Behold this heart, which has so loved men. Father, forgive them”. The centerpiece is Mary on the front, with Jesus praying on the back (or at least I assume it’s Jesus. It’s some dude with a beard).

I haven’t had it blessed by a priest yet because I plan on doing some custom work with it. I’m going to be replacing the “Our Father” beads with copper spheres embedded with clear crystals around the diameter. I’m meeting with my priest next Monday and it will be ready to go by then.

Wire-wrapped St. James the Greater rosary. Blessed by my priest. I carry it with me always. I have a devotion to St. James and throughout my life have known many men named James whose presence and influence have been crucial on my journey towards God.

the picture really doesn’t do it justice…the beads are brighter blue. came from Sacre Couer basilica in France, where they have had perpetual adoration since the 1800s. Given to me as a gift from a dear friend.

I love that basilica. It is my home away from home. Do the Adoration at night if you get a chance. It’s amazingly edifying. 👍
 
If I meet Pope Francis someday, would I be able to get it blessed by him in addition to already being blessed by a priest?
 
Here is my rosary I use everyday. I keep another rosary which has touched the case of the relic of Saint Therese of Child Jesus.(I know, there is no fourth class relic, anyways… 🙂 )
 


It was given to me by my wife and that in itself makes it special. I like the feel of wooden beads.

I’ve recently added a St Benedict medal to it.
 
I don’t have a photo, but my favourite rosary is with small white pearls and it was brought to me by a close friend from Assisi. On the Our Fathers it has a picture of St Francis on one side and a picture of St Clare on the other.

My favourite rosaries are definitely those with pearls. BTW, UpUpAndAway, your rosary is wonderful! 👍
 
I’ve been meaning to get one and this thread is helping urge me on to follow through. Thanks!

I just received this Rosary holder too. I got it on eBay for less than $20, and I love how it looks!

Now that’s a wonderful holder! You’re right, it’s very beautiful.

I’m enjoying the photos of your Rosaries, they’re all lovely!
