Rosary Workshop - chaplet - COT.2509
STAR of the SEA  V
CARIDAD  VI  CHAPLETS
 FLAT TURQUOISE WINDOW BEAD - CZECH
'Mary, Star of the Sea, guide us on our way' .... Many a sailor has prayed this in their hearts. Perfect for the lover of the sea as it feels like a piece of glass - with a wonderful history - found on a sandy beach, worn smooth by the unending tossing surf.  The topazy/bronze sides frame the oval shape in such a way as to remind us of God's continuing and patient process of forming us into the likeness of himself through Mary. A ten bead or one decade chaplet for standard rosary prayers. Limited. Originally called 'Star of the Sea', it only seemed right to open this one up to Caridad as both devotions represent Mary and the sea. Names below only identify the difference but interchangeable in your devotional prayer time.

STAR OF SEA  V     -     CARIDAD  VI

STAR OF THE SEA - CARIDAD?
The two chaplets below have a beautiful medal of Our Lady of Caridad (Patroness of Cuba) and we might ask why? Mary is Mary regardless of the title bestowed on her by various apparitions, groups, countries or families.  Mary as Star of the Sea (Stella Maris) and the Virgin of Caridid (Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre) each  have a long history.  Star of the Sea dates back to at least the 9th century as Patroness and protector of those at sea.  The legend of Caridad dates back to the 1600s.

THE BEADS
 PATER BEAD: The Pater bead used on the Caridad VI is a new discovery from Mexico called 'Rainbow Calsilica' The color range is remarkable and has become very popular with South Western Jewelers.  Each one is totally different, each a rare beauty. AVE BEADS: The teal blue flat Ave bead or  'Two Window Bead' is new but from an old glass bead mold (Czech) It is truly the color of Mary and of the sea. Edges are a beautiful Picasso type mix of mottled bronzy topaz. The blue seems to reveal the mysteries of the inner eye. (I have to wonder if God has blue eyes?)
