This beautiful hematite rosary was made as a remembrance of Pope John Paul II. Pope John Paul suggested we pray the rosary every day and this lovely rosary gives us the way to do as he requested with a rosary dedicated to him. The Pope John Paul rosary has 6mm gray pearl-like beads of hematite which look lovely against the silver links of the rosary. The joiner is a Pope John Paul medal which has a decorative wavy edge around the outside of the medal and an image of Pope John PaulÆs head in the center of the medal. The Pope John Paul rosary has a crucifix which is a replica of the crosier he carried and is in the bent cross design where the crossbar is bent slightly downward and you can seem to see the grain of the wood in the design. The image on the joiner reminds the one praying to reflect on the life of this beloved Pope as the prayers of the rosary are said on this special rosary dedicated to his memory. The hematite Pope John Paul rosary is a rosary which has a masculine look so will be comfortable for men to use. The Pope John Paul rosary will be a special gift to anyone who has a special devotion to Pope John Paul and appreciates how he lived his life. The rosary comes gift boxed.
