Prayer beads, Episcopal, Anglican, Methodist, Protestant, rose glass pearls, Opalite beads, Jerusalem cross, gunmetal, hand-wired, OOAK

These Episcopal /Protestant /Anglican /Methodist prayer beads are made with dark dusty rose glass pearls and Opalite beads.

They were hand-wired using gunmetal toned metal eye pins.

The smaller beads are 8mm white Opalite.

The large beads are 12mm dusty rose glass pearls.

The cross is a silver-toned metal Jerusalem cross.
This cross measures 32x26mm.
25.4mm equals 1 inch.

This rosary is about 12 inches long from center top to bottom tip of the cross.

If you would rather have another cross or crucifix than I have shown here, please message me. I'll be glad to make the changes for you.

All rosaries, chaplets, and car rosaries will come in a small organza bag for safe storage.

The Anglican rosary, also called the Episcopal rosary, the Protestant, or the Methodist rosary. This rosary evolved in the early 1980's from an Episcopal prayer group in Texas led by Rev. Bauman.

This type of rosary has 4 sets of 7 beads, called weeks. There are 4 larger beads called Cruciform beads in the body of the rosary. They form a cross when you spread out the rosary. There is one more large bead called an invitatory bead in the stem part of the rosary.
The beads total 33, which represents the years Christ lived on Earth.

This rosary was initially made with the San Damiano cross.
I have seen them with both plain crosses and crucifixes.

There is much more about the symbolism of the layout and numbers of beads, the history of the Anglican rosary, and how to pray the Anglican rosary.
I will add more info and links to info when time permits.
