The Cristeros Rosary | Gemline Wood & Mexican Crazy Lace Agate | ¡Viva Cristo Rey!

Dedicated to the Cristeros — the Mexican faithful who took up the cry "¡Viva Cristo Rey!" and gave their lives rather than surrender the right to worship God. The Mexican Crazy Lace Agate is found only in the land where they fought; the black cord represents the night of persecution that descended on the Church in Mexico; the gold represents Christ the King they proclaimed with their final breath; the copper represents the blood soaked into that soil. This rosary honors those who refused to be silenced, and the martyrs whose blood became the seed of the Church in Mexico.
