A
COLLECTOR
from
GERMANY
A REMARKABLE LOOK AT THE
ROSENKRANZ (ROSARY)
 |
|
We are grateful for the time this collector has taken to share his beautiful rosaries with those who are interested in the development of the Rosenkranz in Germany over the centuries. + Reliquary cross above holds relics from saints of the church. Each name is included on a little strip of paper creating an interesting design. Rosary appears to be from the 19 c and may have belonged to a religious. + We learn a great deal as we look over the designs and read his commentary (in quotes) about each one. A wonderful sharing by a very generous collector from Germany. (We respect his reequest for privacy). Enjoy his sharings below: |
