The Miraculous Medal at the heart of this rosary is one of the most beloved Marian sacramentals in the Catholic world.

Twenty-eight years before the Church defined the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, Our Lady appeared to a young Daughter of Charity in Paris and asked that a medal be made bearing the words, "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee." The Miraculous Medal was the answer. This rosary draws the one who prays it into that same Marian confidence, decade after decade.

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.
