St. Philomena Rosary

Dedicated to St. Philomena, the young martyr and "Wonderworker" whose intercession has been credited with countless miracles throughout history. The Cherry Blossom Agate beads, with their soft pink and white swirling patterns, represent the innocence and purity of the young saint who remained faithful unto death. Like the cherry blossom that blooms briefly but beautifully, St. Philomena's life was short but radiant with grace. The Copper Cord symbolizes the warmth of her love and the enduring nature of her miracles, while the Silver accents and medals honor the purity of her soul and the "silver tongue" of her intercession. With the St. Benedict Crucifix for protection and the Miraculous Medal for grace, this rosary is a plea for the "little flower" to bloom in the hearts of those who pray it.
