Those are Rosary beads, and they are NOT EVER—NO NEVER—meant to be worn as a necklace.
This is a great Catholic faux pas!!!
Old Rose is spinning in her grave.
If Rose is only spinning about the Rosary beads as a fashion statement, and not all the other things her descendents have done, I would be shocked (but, she was still alive when her son became pro-abortion - wonder if it mattered to her).
It’s weird, non-Catholics seem to think we wear rosaries.
Yes - I noticed that too. She should know that. I have worn them under my clothes (hidden) at times I knew I would want them to pray, but they weren’t worn as jewelry.
If you look closely at the picture, I don’t think it’s actually a rosary, but does bear a strong resemblance. A real rosary has a small section between the 5 ‘decades’ and the cross, Maria’s necklace doesn’t have that.
When I was in Iceland earlier this year I happened into a religious shop.Iceland is a Lutheran country but the shop had rosaries and other Catholic articles. The sales girl was wearing a rosary as a necklace and I informed her that this is not jewelry and should not be worn that way.She did not know this..not a surprise and was glad for the information.
Can you imagine the uproar if a non Muzzie wore those muzzie prayer beads like that? Why there would be murder in the streets.
