This lovely handmade rosary features striking, multifaceted, light purple nebula beads for the Hail Marys, with a subtle, silvered iridescence, and the timelessness of a family heirloom. These symbolize the martyrdom of St. Maria and her place among the royalty in heaven. They also represent the profound repentance she inspired, over time, in the heart of her murderer, who was moved to reform his life after she appeared to him in a dream in prison. Larger Our Father beads are copper lustered, fire-polished crystals that evoke extravagant flames of light and color, elegantly faceted for movement and contrast. These symbolize the fire of Maria's love for God and souls, as she offered her pains at death for the souls in Purgatory, and struggled while dying to say aloud that she forgave her attacker and wanted him with her in heaven.
Metallic gold spacers and clear crystals lined in bronze for additional luster complement the beading. An Italian centerpiece medal with fine detailing honors St. Maria Goretti and reads, "Pray for us," on the reverse. The finishing touch is an attractive oxidized silver Crucifix, accented with cascading lilies, symbolizing both St. Maria's purity, and the 14 lilies she gave her attacker Alessandro in his dream, as she forgave him for each of the 14 stab wounds he inflicted. Both medal and Crucifix are crafted by artisans in Italy.
Encompassing intensity, forgiveness and ardent love, this is a perfect gift for a woman or young woman whose vibrant faith you admire, or whose faith you want to inspire by entrusting her to St. Maria Goretti, Patron Saint of Youth, Young Women, Purity, and Victims of Rape or Assault. This heirloom quality rosary will become a faithful companion in prayer and petition, to one of the youngest martyrs and most powerful saints of the Church. Rosary Prayer Card included.
