Rosaries from the Rosary Workshop Collection- RAA.2810 - 11 - CRAA.22810 - 13
ROSARIES of the SEA of GALILEE
ROSARIES / BEADS FROM AMERICAN BEAD ARTISTS
The art of glass bead making, hand pressed beads or of a technique called 'lamp work' is centuries old - and carries a very interesting history you may read about in our history section.  But recently there has been a new birth of lamp work beads all over the United States.  Any of the major Bead shows from Tucson to Milwaukee, from New York to Los Angeles will reveal how beads are formed from rods of glass cane in gifted hands to become miniature works of art. Below we have incorperated some of the work of these beadmakers into our rosaries, chaplets and religious jewelry. We hope you enjoy.

MARK 6:47-51
47  When it was evening, the boat was far out on the sea and he was alone on shore.  48 Then he saw that they were tossed about while rowing, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, he came toward them walking on the sea.  He meant to pass by them. 49 But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and cried out.  50 They had all seen him and were terrified. But at once he spoke with them, "Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!" 51 He got into the boat with them and the wind died down. They were (completely) astounded.

JOHN 6:24-27
Other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten the bread when the Lord gave thanks. 24 When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus. 25 And when they found him across the sea they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?" Jesus answered them and said, "Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled.  27 Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, 15 which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal."

... Dear Ladies of the Rosary Workshop ...
I am writing to compliment you on the "Pilgrimage" rosary I ordered from you--the piece arrived earlier today and I am thrilled.  The coral pater beads are beautiful, and the medals are especially striking.  Keep up the wonderful work!  I look forward to placing another order soon.  The only difficulty is which to choose....
