RUDRAKSHA SEEDS - INDIA
It has been said that this seed is the oldest recorded seed used to count prayers. Traditionally, they are used for rosaries but not Christian rosaries.  Yet, we should realize this rugged seed is a creature of God and is not reserved for any one group of prayers or pray-ers! This seed is divided into 5 parts. And for a Christian, it is a symbol of the 5 wounds of Christ.

We look carefully at its heavy texture and must say to ourselves that it is a powerful bead for prayer - certainly more sacrificial!  Certainly it would keep one awake with its rough surface -  until the prescribed prayers are completed.  And of course, the goal would be to wear each bead smooth from many prayers! We have seen this done on a Christian rosary made of Rudraksha seeds (See Museum) and it gives one a sense of being near a sacramental that belonged to a very holy person.

~inspired scripture~
  As gold in the furnace, he proved them, and as sacrificial offerings he took them to himself.  In the time of their visitation they shall shine, and shall dart about as sparks through stubble; They shall judge nations and rule over peoples, and the LORD shall be their King forever.  Those who trust in him shall understand truth, and the faithful shall abide with him in love: Because grace and mercy are with his holy ones, and his care is with the elect.  Wisdom 3:6-9

... but you always surprise and delight  ...
I received the rosaries today.   The special order Sacrificial Offerings is also a striking rosary.  The 10mm moon and stars beads seem to be made for the  large coral Pater beads.  The turquoise and rust accents lend sparkle as the finishing touches.  I have been a long time customer of yours, but you always surprise and delight me with your beautiful creations.  They always seem to become more beautiful and creative!  I do believe that our Lord has blessed you and the ladies with ever-improving gifts for designing and making rosaries of great beauty and inspiration.  God bless you and keep you always, Mary Schilhavy (IN)

... soaking in His glory ...
I received the Rudraksha rosary today!  How spectacular!  The [substituted] Samsara cross w/thorns is so beautiful w/the seeds ... I can't wait to begin my long journey in making [the rough seeds] smooth!  Of all the rosaries you blessed women have made me, the beauty of this simple strand leaves me speechless!  Much like being in the presence of God ... you just have to soak in His glory.  Thank you and may God bless you & your talents.   Joell Stebelton (USA)
