+ ANGELS NOW AVAILABLE WITH 9 OR 10 BEADS C9G - CHAPLETS 9 BEADS SERIES Medals from Germany. Traditionally a 'niner' or a 9 bead chaplet, is called a 'novena chaplet' and the 'tenner' is used to count one decade of the rosary. The latter, popular with men since 15c as easier to carry. + SEEN IN AN ANTIQUE SHOP IN MUNICH Because we believe our visitors are unique amongst the internet family, we offer some new designs that were inspired by an item seen in an Antique Shop in Munich a few years ago. It was well over 100 years old. It was actually a large, 3 inch round crystal and gold reliquary box containing relics of about 10 saints. + RARE LOOK INTO HISTORY This was not so unusual but what was different, was the fact that from it, hung a series of old beads. It was a chaplet! Or had been before some of the beads broke and fell away in time. A chaplet where prayers were offered, asking for the intercession of the saints whose relics were contained. Not one, but many! It was unusually large yet beautiful. This wonderful discovery has inspired the following: for more information

The powerful male saints medals we have used below were designed by world famous EGINO WEINERT of Germany - a favorite of Pope John Paul II, and an artist to the Vatican. The medals are about 2 inches square and cast in solid bronze, only. We have chosen very special beads to symbolize the lives of each saint. These 'Niners' are wonderful to keep on your coffee table, prayer table or home altar and are very simple yet powerful to pray. There is something embracing about holding these medals in one hand and the beads in the other. And when not in use - sitting on the table - they are visually involving, captivating and evangelizing - to others in the room. |

*HISTORY of 'NINERS'* |
|
More information on the traditional 'niner' chaplet may be found in an old book called THE RACCOLTA (A Collection). The Raccolta was first published in Rome by Telesforo Galli in 1807. This would put this practice of the 'niners' into at least the latter part of the 18c, and more likely the devotion was practiced, established and approved of long before it was written about. THE RACCOLTA has been re published many times over the years but more recently by Benzeger Brothers in 1944 through 1957. It contains prayers, devotions, novenas, pius practices etc and explains the indulgences that were attached and conditions needed to gain them at that time in history. All the indulgences contained in THE RACCOLTA are/were applicable to the souls in purgatory. The book is still available through most Catholic Book Stores. I believe the St Jude Chaplet with its 9 beads is a good expample of this history. YANKEE LADY ADDS:
