Vintage Deco Czech Bohemian religious Catholic 5 decade rosary with gold tone crucifix cross pendant, gold tone wire and very early carved floral beige plastic beads.
The five decade rosary consists of a crucifix, then a short set of 5 beads, for praying the Our Father, 3 Hail Marys, and a Glory Be, and then a rosary center, followed by a loop of 5 decades (sets of ten beads) to count the Hail Marys prayed as one meditates on the mysteries of the rosary, with a bead for praying the Our Father between each decade. This traditional rosary (both the physical strand of beads and the prayer) is also known as the Dominican Rosary, due to St. Dominic’s role in encouraging and spreading devotion to the holy rosary at the request of the Blessed Mother.
Wonderful vintage religious rosary suitable for any occasion or for harvest of these super beads.
