The brilliant red crystalline plastic beads of this exquisite Ruby Rosary tell the story of our Redemption. Like 50 red roses, the beads speak of God’s love for us in the Incarnation (the joyful mysteries). Like drops of blood, they remind us of Jesus’ death on the cross (the sorrowful mysteries). Like fiery tongues, they symbolize the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Church (the glorious mysteries). Like rays of the newly risen sun, they illuminate the public life of Jesus (the luminous mysteries).

The rosary is 19-1/2 inches long and the lovely, unbreakable 7-millimeter ruby plastic beads are on a sturdy chain. The hammertone cross and the very beautiful 3/4-inch round centerpiece which depicts the Miraculous Medal Shrine on one side and the Miraculous Medal on the other side are silver-plated. The rosary has been blessed at the Shrine and comes attractively boxed.

I will send you this Ruby Rosary in appreciation for your gift of US$10 or more to the Association of the Miraculous Medal.
