Carved from olive wood grown in the Holy Land, this rosary brings the soil of Christ's own earthly life into every decade prayed.

Olive wood from the Holy Land has been used for centuries to make rosaries, crucifixes, and devotional carvings. The wood comes from groves cultivated in the same hills where Christ walked, prayed, and was betrayed — the Garden of Gethsemane, by tradition, still preserves olive trees of immense age. Holding olive wood beads is a small daily reminder of the land of the Lord's earthly life.

Confirmation is the sacrament that perfects baptismal grace, sealing the Christian with the gifts of the Holy Spirit and strengthening the soul to bear witness to Christ. A rosary given at Confirmation marks the moment in a tangible way — a daily companion in the prayer life that the sacrament is meant to deepen and the Spirit's gifts that it is meant to unfold.
