Each bead of this unique Italian-made rosary is a mini Miraculous Medal. The round beads are complimented by a beautiful Miraculous centerpiece and ornate crucifix. The crucifix, center, and large Our Father beads are all accented with durable blue enamel to add to the overall beauty. Overall length is approximately 19 inches from the center of the beads to the tip of the crucifix. Each bead is approximately 9 x 7 mm. Made in Italy, this rosary is silver oxidized. The Medal of the Immaculate Conception, commonly known as the Miraculous Medal, is a cherished Catholic devotion. The Blessed Mother Mary manifested the medal to Sister (now Saint) Catherine Laboure in 1830, and asked her to have the medal struck. Since then, many millions of the medals have been used by Catholics around the world. Countless miracles have been attributed to the medal.
