My Rugged Rosary. over 40 inches in length. Pray & Praise Jesus!
Made with beads from branches of trees already cut down (dead or dangerous) so there are no chemicals on the 'beads', or the larger slice', hemp string for strength & Jesus fish from pine painted with acrylic (some iridescent pearl' as well). I chose a Rainbow Trout to represent Jesus, the rainbow as the symbol God put in the sky to remind us he would not flood the entire earth again. Genesis 9:13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. I chose a fish to represent nature, Jesus has been represented as a fish, especially in turbulent times - it was a secret symbol to show ones faith & following Jesus. I have collected fish, always with the undertone that they represent Jesus.
It turned out as I anticipated! Not an easy task threading all the beads' and I drilled all the holes - hard to do with fingers that don't bend -but it made me all the more appreciative when I was finished! It's strong so I have no fear of breaking it during prayer, it's big so losing it won't be easy either, 'whew'.. I have misplaced a few over the years. It was made from items collected on my own property, making it more special to me as I searched for the perfect branch'. Most importantly, I made it for Jesus! He actually gave me the idea...
Created with Love for Love of My Creator!
When I was sure it was dry, I prayed it. The Rosary is a weapon against evil give to us by The Virgin Mother Mary to help comfort & provide strength. It has become a habit I adore, it brings me Peace, comfort & reminds me of The power of Jesus & the power of His love for us. Several in my collection, many broke from extensive use - in some cases a generation or two... but this is indeed special. I put much consideration, respect & love into every aspect from walking the forest to painting every stroke. I have two more, each one slightly different, one is a gift and I'm not sure about the other, yet.
We were created to create!
Give thanks for this day The Lord has made!
