 USING MATERIALS AT HAND?
I saw a simple rosary used by the Franciscans in a museum in Southern California.  It was very natural, probably dk brown clay beads, strung with clear, colored glass Pater beads. Probably trade beads. It had no dividers, all the beads were strung together with no spaces in between them.  And no crucifix at the end.  The Padre may have lost his traditional one from home and made one out of materials at hand near the Mission or it belonged to a native who converted to Christianity.

RUDRAKSHA WITH BLACK CROSS
Inspried too, by this rosary below - an old find with no history available yet it speaks well of its owner and heavy use. Click icon for more information and more pictures.


TWO CHOICES FOR FRANCIS
Because of our love and your love for Francis we simply sold out of our first 3 editions.  It was our very best selling chaplet ever. Since we could not make up our minds which of these two to use, we decided to give you the choice.

RUDRAKSHA   -   BURI ROOT

~ RUDRAKSHA SEEDS IV ~
EACH SEED FORMED BY THE MOUTH OF GOD 
Rudraksha seeds from the Himalayas, make a wonderfully textured prayer counter and have a long history as prayer beads in many cultures.  The natural, rough texture reminds us of the hand woven garments of Francis and his followers in the 12s.  Turquoise makes a very tactile Prayer Bead for medication. Each, very different, each formed by the word of the mouth of God.

~ BURI ROOT  V ~
ETHIOPIAN CROSS INFLUENCED?
Variegated brown / black dyed buri root bead gives this chaplet an essence of the Franciscans. the Pater is a beautiful, hand carved and antiqued brown bone. The cross, Ethiopian in origin, may have been influenced by the early Celtic Cross as missionary Irish Monks traveled through the Mediterranean Sea to Asia, Europe and Ethiopia.
