Lutheran prayer beads, Lutheran rosary, Dalmatian Jasper and Yellow Calcite beads, large ornate silver toned metal crucifix, religious

This Lutheran rosary has silver toned findings and gemstone beads.

This rosary is hand-wired using silver-tone eye pins and my trusty little looper tool. The beads are connected by these loops.

The groupings are connected with short bits of silver-toned metal chain.

The small beads are 8mm Dalmatian Jasper and the large beads are 10mm yellow calcite.

At the end of the stem is a large, well-made, detailed crucifix.
It measures 56x34mm.
25.4mm is about 1 inch.

This set of prayer beads is 21 1/2 inches long from the center top to the bottom of the crucifix.

Please note one of the Sunday beads is offset at the center. It is supposed to be that way.

All rosaries will come in a small organza bag for safe storage.

----------------------------------

In doing my research, I found that some Lutherans use the Catholic rosary with modified prayers, some use the Anglican rosary with modified prayers, and some use no rosary or prayer beads at all.

There are several different variations on the Lutheran rosary, but they all center around Lent.

This version was created in 2005 by a seminary member and his wife. This was at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania.

As mentioned before, the rosary is centered around the Lenten season.
There are six sets of six beads representing the days of the week excluding Sunday.
Then there are 7 larger beads representing the Sundays.
Then where they are joined, one of the Sunday beads, and four small ones, then a crucifix.

I do not claim to know everything about this rosary, but my research is ongoing.

I will be adding more information about the symbolism, history, and how to pray the Lutheran rosary.

If you would prefer a cross instead of a crucifix, please let me know and I will swap it out for you.
