A VERY RARE AND SPECIAL ANTIQUE CELTIC CRUCIFIX ADORNS THIS

BEAUTIFUL ROSARY OF CONNEMARA MARBLE FROM IRELAND.

~ inspired scripture ~
Or should it be 'David's Blessing' (See scriptural reference below).
10 Then David blessed the LORD in the presence of the whole assembly, praying in these words: “Blessed may you be, O LORD, God of Israel our father, from eternity to eternity. 11 “Yours, O LORD, are grandeur and power, majesty, splendor, and glory. For all in heaven and on earth is yours; yours, O LORD, is the sovereignty; you are exalted as head over all. 12 “Riches and honor are from you,  and you have dominion over all. In your hand are power and might;  it is yours to give grandeur and strength to all. 13 Therefore, our God, we give you thanks and we praise the majesty of your name.” Chronicles 29 10-13

~ ABOUT CONNEMARA MARBLE ~

ARCHITECTURAL USE
Connemara marble may be seen used in buildings throughout the world.  Here in the United States, a very fine example may be seen in the State Capital Building, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The Senate Chamber and Post Office. Starting in the 50s, it was being used in many churches in Ireland including the floors of the new Galway Cathedral (note background).  It may also be seen at Shannon and Dublin Airports.

ARTS AND CRAFTS
Very popular are the uses of Connemara marble to make various craft and art items.  It is used in jewelry, rosaries, chess boards, souvenirs and tablewear.  The youth of Ireland presented the Holy Father John Paul II a beautiful crucifix and matching candlesticks in 1981.

QUALITIES
Found only in Connemara Ireland, the marbles may vary in many shades of green including varigated creamy greens. It is a very finely grained marble and many claim there is no finer green  marble found anywhere in the world.

... a joy to hold ...
The Connemara marble rosary arrived today, safe and sound. It is very beautiful and a joy to hold. I have always been interested in a Connemara rosary, but the ones that one usually sees in O'Connell Street, Dublin, and Souvenir Shops are so badly put together, and the beads of a very poor standard. Yours are so very attractive. I was reminded of Hopkins' poem in praise of "dappled things". I look forward to using it on St Patrick's Day.  Rev. Fr. Michael Cleary SVD - UK

... it is a gorgeous rosary ...
The Connamara marble rosary is so lovely!  The colors evoke images of spring, renewal and spiritual rebirth.  What an appropriate rosary for the blessed Easter season!  The variable green marble Ave's and the amber glass caps on the Pater's also remind me of the old green and yellow horn Irish rosaries of many decades past.  It is a gorgeous rosary that is smooth and comfortable to handle during prayer.  Thank you very much! Mary S (IN)
