DID YOU KNOW?
That Columbus
renamed his 3 ships when he visited a Spanish shrine before setting off
to the west? NINA (girl) PINTA (paint) and the SANTA MARIA (St Mary).
Did you know this happened 40 years before the image appeared on Juan Diego's
Garment? Did you know the Spanish Shrine is called Guadalupe? Why roses?
(Yes the Bishop secretly prayed for a sign of roses in December) But did
you ever wonder if there were 59 as in a rosary? We will never know!
RSDA SERIES
We think of
Fr Serra and other Franciscans, Jesuits and Dominicans who helped settle
the Southwest and California coast. We can imagine they probably did not
come heavily laden with rosaries to share or replace their own losses but
may have made rosaries using seeds, shells, pebbles or wood along the way.
This collection of our Franciscan Inspired rosaries (RSDA) tries to imitate
what natural materials were available and may have been used. RSDA - (
