+ PRIESTS AND NUNS ROSARIES Priests, Nuns, Brothers, Religious have rosaries that are much simpler than the laity. Some are shown below. Note how they are not as ornate as the filigrees or other rosaries that may fall in the same period. May were worn on the belt and were a full 15 decade as compared to the laity who generally carried a '5 Decade Chaplet'. or a 'Tenner' (one decade chaplet). Some have been identified but if you can add more information, please do! + Each helps to patch in a bit of history - what we know and don't know about rosaries and chaplets. And it helps us realize how many are unique because of confraternities but individual and personal prayer. for more information, enjoy

*WOODEN FRANCISCAN - POLISH* |
|
OF ROSARY (POLISH) Good Afternoon, I believe I know the rosary in the visitor's gallery titled Wooden Franciscan. It was worn by the Felician Sisters (Sisters of St. Felix) on the belt of their habits (part of the Franciscan order, that is why St. Francis' picture is on one side). This rosary was worn on the old habit before they modernized their dress. I believe it is the Franciscan Crown rosary. + FRANCISCAN CROWN (Seven Decade rosary, with 8 Paters)
A strung rosary with a tubular cross at one end. Old and very worn wooden icon medallion on the other. Truly a beautiful find with St Francis and our Lady of Czestochowa on the reverse. + LEFT: FRANCIS OF ASSISI
+ It is a Polish order that is why the Black Madonna or Our Lady of Czestochowa on one side. I was an aspirant in the Felician Order in Coraopolis, PA in the 1960s and I recognize this rosary. Hope this helps. Aleta Tobin (DC) + THANKS ALETA! Thanks Aleta, and thanks for the identification of the Franciscan Crown - for some reason I had the standard count 5 sets of 10 up there instead of the correct 7 sets of 10. + RW |

I did an internet search on the Brigittine Rosary and found your site. My very first rosary that I collected was a 6 decade from Nuns estate. It has Papal seals on it as well. I don't have a picture of it handy but I sent a couple of others. Since then I have collected a few various types. Bob Diercks |
