Single Decade Rosary
Very special single decade rosary with a 7/8" nickel silver medal of St Dominic Savio with "Pray for Us" on the reverse. The 1-3/4" silver-toned San Damiano crucifix has one half of the Prayer of Peace by St Francis of Assisi on the back, in English. (We include a card with the full prayer plus info on the crucifix.) Both the crucifix and the medal were made in Italy; the chaplet itself was designed and handmade by me in our home in the USA.
All eleven beads are 8 mm, smooth, round, natural, genuine semi-precious gemstones. The single Our Father bead is a Green Adventurine and the ten Hail Mary beads are alternating Blue Adventurine and deep purple Amethysts.
Chaplet is about 10-1/2" long and comes gift-boxed and with the following:
Dominic Savio was an altar boy who longed to become a priest, but it was not to be - he died at age 15. His tomb is in Turin, Italy, near his mentor and teacher St John (Don) Bosco. St Dominic is the patron saint of boys, falsely accused people, choir boys and juvenile delinquents, or troubled young people. Perhaps you know of a boy who might benefit having this young saint as a friend. EWTN, the Catholic TV network, aired a great movie on Don Bosco that featured this young boy's story. He truly seemed to be a boy who was always helpful and kind to others - a worthy role model for a youngster of today. This would be a great gift for a boy on his First Communion or Confirmation, or any young person in need of a saintly friend.
The prayer cards which come with our rosaries, medals
and pictures are home-made, created using a "greeting card" program
on a computer and printed in full color on nice quality paper. Although they
are not like the usual smaller professionally printed prayer cards, most of our
customers prefer them since they are like a pamphlet with 4 "pages"
and several images, prayers, patronages and often other information about the
saint or Catholic devotion.
