Child Rosary Makes a Perfect Christening or Baptism Gift

Traditionally used by Catholics, rosaries are sacred pieces of jewelry made up of a series of beads used in their prayer ritual.

The standard rosary consists of five sets of beads called decades, each composed of one large and ten smaller beads. Each bead represents a different part of the prayer and the space between the beads is used to count the times into the next bead and prayer.

The larger beads represent reciting the Lord's Prayer or Our Father. The smaller beads represent saying the Hail Mary or Ave Maria. In between the decades, or bead groups, the "Glory be," a mantra, is recited.

Pictured above is a Baby's First Rosary Bracelet that includes ten "Hail Mary" and one "Our Father" clear, faceted Aurora Borealis beads. On the lovely oval medallion, is artfully engraved any single initial on one side and optional year on the reverse. The initial medallion, Virgin Mary and crucifix charms suspend from the 5" bracelet with lobster clasp closure. Click on the picture for more product details and pricing information.

Also pictured above is a handmade child rosary that is beautifully crafted of white Italian porcelain in a delicate, downsized version. For added sentiment, your baby's single initial is engraved on an oval medal charm. The white battenburg linen "pocket", with crocheted lace edging, makes a unique keepsake holder for the cherished rosary. Beautifully gift boxed with a poem. Verse Reads:
