+ CORONA of MARY IMMACULATE CICD: IMMACULATE CONCEPTION DEVOTIONAL He encouraged all to take on the same devotion. It is told that shortly before his death at 38 on the shores of Lake Michigan, he and his two companions, Pierre and Jacque would pray a little corona (crown) of the Immaculate Conception which he wrote: +
+ LITTLE CORONA - LITTLE CROWN
HE RENAMED THE GREAT RIVER He traveled through the Great Lakes region to the Mississippi river which he renamed 'Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception'. He died along the shores of Lake Michigan near Luddington. + in 1677. His remains were moved back to St Ignace in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan a few years later. The Rosary Workshop is located in the UP, down the road a bit - in the diocese of Marquette! + (DEDICATED DECEMBER 8, 2011 - FEAST OF MARY IMMACULATE) Father Marquette was deeply devoted to our lady of the Immaculate Conception and history shares from the age of 9 he would fast every Saturday and was known to say the Little Office of the Conception. for more information

OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION Father Jacques Marquette SJ + KNOTTED CORDS FOR COUNTING? The original may have been as simple as knots tied on a cord and this would be a wonderful way to begin saying this prayer today to the Blessed Virgin Immaculate. + Father Marquette would be familiar with St John Berchmens SJ, patron of altar boys (1599-1621) and his traditional daily prayer and chaplet (with its 3 sets of 4). But the little corona of Pere Marquette holds a more personal feeling for us in America because of Father Marquette's journeys from France to the outpost of St Ignace in what is now the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. + CHAPLET of ST BERCHMENS SJ IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CORONA

Our Dedication is in Black Ebony wood and the larger beads are, woven metal. The medal is cast from an old Miraculous Medal in solid bronze and sterling silver. Click image for more information. +
FR MARQUETTE SJ DEDICATION CORONA ABOUT SMALLER BEADS: Traditional (Hudson's Bay 1667–1871) fur trade beads called 'Russian Blues' (CZ). Ours are vintage, not antique. LARGER BLUE / GREEN BEADS: Handmade African 'Trade' Glass. (appear greener than they are), These are not old just traditional in use but also color reminded us of the Mississippi River before the delta mud was churned up by the river traffic today. Immacualate Medal is one of the originals (early 1800s) + IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CORONA

So after much prayer, we dedicated this little corona to Fr Marquette. This configuration flows prayerfully: MEDAL: Credo,
PENDANT BEAD: Pater, FIRST LOOP BEAD: Ave,

*17 - 18 C JESUIT ROSARY* |

WITH TWO CROSSES + UPPER CRUCIFIX: Irish Penal Cross, LOWER CROSS: Patriarchael Cross of Lorraine, found at the Onondaga Indian Mission (NY), active from 1656 - 1658. Unable to find info this early for Penal Crosses re the 17c. (most dated from early 18c) Researching now. 15 decades of Aves represent a full rosary and suspect these may have been European trade beads used to purchase beaver pelts from the indians in new France. +
