Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe


Our Lady of Guadalupe Goldstone and Indian Bloodstone Gemstone Handmade Catholic Rosary

 
This lovely rosary is made from 6mm Goldstone (a man-made glittering glass) beads for the Hail Marys. They are absolutely stunning in the light! My photos do not give them justice. 

The Our Fathers on the tail portion of the rosary are 8mm Indian Bloodstone gemstone beads. On the circle portion, the Our Fathers are silver medals of Mater Dolorosa (Mary with pierced heart) on one side, and colored pictures of the Virgen de Guadalupe on the other. 

The silver center medal is matching, with Jesus crowned in thorns on one side and the colored picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe on the other. The nickel silver cut out crucifix is marked Italy on the reverse.

Advent Rosaries


This lovely rosary boasts 8mm Czech Fire polished glass beads, in the traditional Advent wreath colors. 

The first two decades are purple for Hope and Preparation of the impending birth of Our Lord and Savior. 

The third is pink for the Joy of the Christ Child's birth. 

The fourth is again purple for the Love Christ has for humankind. 

The fifth decade is white to signify the purity of the Christ Child.

I have chosen the Pardon Crucifix and a Mary center with a circle of stars. All findings are nickel silver, including the wire.



This gorgeous rosary is made with Amethyst, Natural Rose Quartz and Dyed (White) Mother of Pearl. The Pater beads are 8mm Dyed Mother of Pearl while the Hail Marys are 6mm. 

The first two decades are purple for Hope and Preparation of the impending birth of Our Lord and Savior. 

The third is pink for the Joy of the Christ Child's birth. 

The fourth is again purple for the Love Christ has for humankind. 

The fifth decade is white to signify the purity of the Christ Child.

I have chosen the Pardon crucifix for this rosary, which has attached indulgences. A sheet explaining the indulgences is included.

Definition of Indulgence

The word indulgence originally meant kindness or favor. In Latin, it meant the remission of a tax or debt. Under Roman law, it was used to express release from captivity or punishment. In this instance, an indulgence is given to remit the temporal punishment of sin that has been forgiven.

These indulgences have been declared upon the Pardon Crucifix by Pope St. Pius X in 1905 and have been approved in the pardon of the living and the souls in Purgatory in 1907. The lengths of the indulgences were repealed in the new Enchiridion, and the indulgences were granted to remit the guilt of the sin committed: 

1. Whoever carries on his person the Pardon Crucifix, may thereby gain an indulgence.

2. For devoutly kissing the Crucifix, an indulgence is gained. 

3. Whoever says one of the following invocations before this crucifix may gain each time an indulgence: "Our Father who art in heaven, forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." "I beg the Blessed Virgin Mary to pray to the Lord our God for me." 

4. Whoever, habitually devout to this Crucifix, will fulfill the necessary conditions of Confession and Holy Communion, may gain a Plenary Indulgence on the following feasts: On the feasts of the Five Wounds of our Lord, the Invention of the Holy Cross, the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, the Immaculate Conception, and the Seven Sorrows (Dolors) of the Blessed Virgin Mary. 

5. Whoever, at the moment of death, fortified with the Sacraments of the Church, or contrite of heart, in the supposition of being unable to receive them, will kiss this Crucifix and ask pardon of God for his sins, and pardon his neighbor, will gain a Plenary Indulgence.

The center medal depicts Mary crowned with stars on the front and Jesus on the reverse. 

All findings, including wire, are nickel silver.
