Rosary Workshop - Handmade Rosaries - LEC.2840, CLEC.2840
PATER NOSTER II
DEDICATED TO EARLY CHURCH FATHERES: PEBBLES STRUNG FOR PRAYER

ROSARY: natural pebbles remind us of ancient prayer counters
 ALL IN ONE LOOP
This Pater Noster - (Our Father) - rosary is one of the most precious of all our rosaries. Large and simple, and all in one loop. Not for the weak of heart. Perfect for those who like to feel the rosary they are praying. Each flat, Jasper bead is totally unique and no two are alike. Very Limited and doubt we can find more. We sold out of the first grouping, this new edition is a bit smaller but truly beautiful to behold and pray.

EACH HAND CARVED WOODEN PATER BEAD IS A LEAF, KEEPING A NATURAL THEME.

EARLY DESERT FATHERS
The first Christian prayer counters we know about in history were knotted cords and pebbles. We read that in  341AD (EGYPT) (Abbot) Paul of Thebes (c. 234 - 347), a hermit, who was simply 'praying in the manner old and beyond memory', said his 300 daily Paternosters by moving pre-counted pebbles from one pile to another. Other interpretations say he carried them in a pouch.

ROSARIES: close up of the counting pebbles
 Soft polychromes in a mix of light and dark tones of earth, rose, clay and soot.  No two beads alike, each a work of art from the spoken word of God, mined by man. One has to marvel over the diversity of the Jasper family, the name covering a multitude of configurations. 
+
This rosary is in the traditional 'all in one loop' allowing for easier and uninterrupted prayer. No tangling as there are no pendant beads.

~ LITURGICAL PRAYER ~
EARLY PRAYER - PSALMS 
To the early monks and clergy, the most important part of the liturgical prayer was the 150 Psalms or Psalter. Many of the Psalms are songs of praise and thanksgiving. Most of the laity could not read so they chanted 150 'Our Fathers' instead of the 5 books which made up the Psalms.  This prayer is said on the 6 large beads and is from Scripture. It has not basically changed over the centuries although you will recognize minor differences used today. 
+
All quotes are taken from the NAB. (Matthew 6:9): Jesus prefaces it: 
+
8 .... Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9 "This is how you are to pray:  SALUTATION  Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,  10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven.   PETITION 11 Give us today our daily bread; 12 and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; 13 and do not subject us to the final test, but deliver us from the evil one. 

 JOHN 14:26-28
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.  Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
