Desert Fathers Handmade Rosary

Named for the early Christian ascetics who fled to Egyptian desert in the fourth and fifth centuries, and who inspire the Exodus 90 brotherhood, the Desert Fathers Handmade Rosary is the ideal companion for your prayer and meditation. It's heavy (in a good way!) but not stiff, and it's durable enough to withstand some stretching and pulling. (We know, because our 5-year-old got a hold of one and put it through the ringer!) Handmade in the USA by our friends at EverythingCatholic.com, it features "Hail Mary" beads made from petrified wood, plus metallic "Our Father" beads and bronze accent beads. The rosary also includes a solid bronze Benedictine centerpiece and solid bronze Benedictine crucifix. Approximately 18" long. The crucifix is 1 3/4" long.
