I love beading and am making single decade, rear view mirror Rosarys as Christmas gifts this year. I found one on Ebay and now use it as a pattern.
LOL!! Tooooooooo funny!I have a rosary hanging on my rearview mirror and on my dashboard, I have a 2.5" tall Our Lady of Grace statue. Beside the statue, I placed mood lights to act like candles when it’s dark. Then just below my radio near my cup holders, I have laminated prayer cards of Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Benedict.
I guess all I’m missing are stained glass windows and my car will be a small mobile chapel.
I guess that depends on your reason, as well as safety. Here in Southern California, it’s popular to hang a rosary from the rear view mirror, in belief that it will protect the driver from accidents. Of course, that is superstitious hogwash. So, that is why many good Catholics say it is inappropriate.I was under the impression that it wasn’t really appropriate to hang a rosary from the rearview mirror. (Nor to wear it as a necklace, either, as a side note.)
This says it best.We have a rosary on ours to remind us to pray. It also in kinda like a reminder of not to drive faster than you guardian angel can fly!
No, No, No! I’m just saying that I hear good Catholics discouraging the hanging of rosaries from the rear view mirror. It is such a supersticious thing around here, that even good Catholic who hang rosaries from their rear view mirror could be inadvertently setting a bad example. I think it’s fine if it’s there to remind you of God, or to pray. However, if it’s there to protect you from accidents, then that’s superstition, and it should come down.Michael Welter,
I hope by your last statement you aren’t saying that Catholics who have a Rosary on their rearview mirror aren’t good Catholics. :tsktsk:
But there continues to be a struggle for the few available spots. I have one of those on my window. It has a photograph as identification too.Handicap Plaquard … I get great parking.:yup:
I have some potent memories associated with that style of necklace. A sister used to wear one to bingo all the time when I was knee-high to a grasshopper.An old lucite-encased mustard seed necklace that I got off e-bay.
