Ring Around the Rosary

I've always had a fascination with rosaries. They are so striking in their

design. When one is worn and has obviously been used I am always drawn to think of the things that might have been prayed; prayers answered and unanswered. I don't really know how a rosary is used in prayer, but I can imagine how I would use one. I think each bead might represent a praise, a loved one, blessing, or hope. I think the cross would remind me of sacrifice and love. These are things we can all pause to

think about in a busy, time-frayed life. And while I do not wear a rosary or use one when I pray, I still see them as emblems of devotion and piety.

I have this beautiful wooden bead rosary in the WoolgathererShop now.
