Hematite Penal Rosary

The Irish penal rosary was a single-decade rosary used during penal times in Ireland, when roman catholicism and its religious objects were forbidden, even on the pain of death. This version of the rosary is easily hidden, down the sleeve, or gathered in the palm, allowing devout Catholics to pray with less fear of being detected. When praying with this rosary, move the ring from one finger to another to keep track of the mystery you are on. This style is crafted with 8mm hematite beads, with twisted, capped father and silver-tone accents.
