(for more information on tosaries, scroll down) + 7 SETS OF 10 BEADS RD7S - FRANCISCAN CROWN also known as the 7 "Joys of Mary" and the "Seraphic Rosary" + SEVEN SETS OF TEN BEADS A womderful rosary that has been around for centuries, it has many prayers and devotions. Known as the Franciscan Crown, Seraphic Rosary and the 7 Joys of Mary.The "Seven Joys" is a devotion that recalls seven joyful episodes in the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The practice originated among the Franciscans in early 15th-century Italy. The themes resemble the 12th-century Gaudes, Latin praises that ask Mary to rejoice because God has favored her in various ways. , we have designed
and dedicated a rosary to each of these titles although the traditional
count and prayer is the same on all three, 7 sets of 10 and may be
used for prayers of your choice but the traditional prayers are linked
below. Don't miss the rare Tourmaline faceted stone Paters below.
Very limited.

NOTE: with Hand cast crucifix is powerful and simple and is available in sterling or solid bronze. + HISTORY OF THE FRANCISCAN CROWN The Franciscan Crown dates back to the year 1422. Wadding tells us that a young novice who had that year been received into the Franciscan Order had, previous to his reception, been accustomed to adorn a statue of the Blessed Virgin with a wreath of fresh and beautiful flowers as a mark of his piety and devotion. Not being able to continue this practice in the novitiate, he decided to return to the world. The Blessed Virgin appeared to him and prevented him from carrying out his purpose. She then instructed him how, by reciting daily a rosary of seven decades in honour of her seven joys, he might weave a crown that would be more pleasing to her than the material wreath of flowers he had been wont to place on her statue. From that time the practice of reciting the crown of the seven joys became general in the order.

~ TRADITIONAL PRAYER ~ |
|
The Apostles' Creed, the Our Father, and three Hail Marys having been said as usual, the mystery to be meditated upon is introduced after the word Jesus of the first Hail Mary of each decade, thus: "Jesus, whom thou didst joyfully conceive", "Jesus, whom thou didst joyfully carry to Elizabeth", and so on for the remaining five decades, which are given in most manuals of Franciscan devotion. At the end of the seventh decade two Hail Marys are added to complete the number of years (72) that the Blessed Virgin is said to have lived on earth. + 1. Annunciation, 2. Visitation, 3. Birth of our Lord, 4. Adoration of the Magi, 5. Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple, 6. the Resurrection of Our Lord, 7. Assumption of the Blessed Virgin/Coronation in heaven + The plenary Indulgence attached to the recitation of the Franciscan Crown, and applicable to the dead, may be gained as often as the crown is recited.
