Product Details
Built as an open ring rather than a solid plate, this rosary center is made of two curling bands that close the circle, with a dove flying across the opening, wings spread and tail fanned, so that daylight shows on either side of it. A leafy sprig runs below the beak, and a small flower with a round bead finishes the foot.
The descending dove is the oldest image the Church has for the Holy Spirit: the form in which he came down over the Jordan at the baptism of Christ, and the sign of Pentecost in the upper room. The sprig recalls that other dove, the one that returned to the ark with word that the water had gone down. Set where the mysteries turn from one decade to the next, the dove stands at exactly the point where the rosary asks for light, and the pierced frame keeps it clear against clothing.
The Holy Spirit dove rosary center was faithfully reproduced from an antique original and cast in the USA using a traditional fine-detail casting process that preserves its vintage character.
- Made in the USA
- Artisan-cast from an antique original
- Finished by hand, so every piece is subtly unique.
- Buy the medal alone, or add an optional chain or cord necklace
- Add a cord or chain to have it arrive assembled and ready to wear
- Arrives in a deluxe velour jewelry box
