But the purpose of this little museum is to show how the rosary was imaged by early painters as it was a tradition to paint symbols with the figure to show their love for God. The rosary was worn by many saints and martyrs so to picture it was important. fFor more resource information please contact the museums listed below. (Pictures link directly to Museum)
