I have about 100 rosaries I made, and each one is unique. Well, anyway, one that I can think of now is a glow in the dark rosary. IT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

The Rosary I use is actually my brothers. The beads are wooden and it has a silver papal crucifix and the middle bead (what is that called?!) Has a picture of my man JP2, and it was blessed by him too!

My first communion rosary has white frosted heart beads, and a broken crucifix The middle bead has a madonna on it ( I don't remember which one), and what I think is supposed to be a pope, but I don't know who it's suppose to be. Maybe it's supposed to be God on his throne, I don't really know.

I also have a rosary blessed by JP2 but it breaks all the time, so that's why I pray with my brother's because he doesn't (not that I do as much as I should.) But anyway, it has blue beads, very worn. and the middle bead, again has a madonna and JP2 (I think)

(related note: i am in a long line of first born of first born of first borns in my family name)

i was given a rosary by my great grandmother while she was on her deathbed
it was simple with all black beads - and i was told by my greatgrandmother that her dad (my great great grandfather) used a simple black rosary - and so did her husband - and so did her first son (my grandfather) and so did his first born (although i can tell you he has used several different that i have seen) and so being his first born, and son ... i guess she wanted to insure i used a black beaded rosary
maybe she had a special Jesuit devotion? i have no idea...

but really - i use the rosary my Polish grandmother made for me - with nice ornate brown beads - its both "ornate" and "earthy"
and reminds me of my grandmother - who is down-to-earth and a franciscan

The one I use the most has pink beads(I like pink )
for the Hail Mary's, and red ones for the Our Father's. :
My fav is all soft pink.

I just got a new one. It's a brown that looks like Ovaltine before it's mixed except a little darker and the cord is darker than that. The beads are wood with a circle inside a circle on four sides of them. The cord is thinnish and flat-braided. All the beads are the same except the cross which has the outline of a figure of Jesus cut into it on one side.

I have a replica of Mother Teresa's rosary, made out of the seeds of the Job's tears plant. I also have a rosary I bought in Santiago De Compostella, Spain, (well actually I hijacked it from the sibling I gave it to), which has the Santiago cross (shaped like a dagger) and the shell (significant for Baptism, and used to be always carried by pilgrims for collecting alms and scooping up water to drink) for the first Our Father.

My rosary is a very tiny, girly rosary with white beads (though I think they were originally a golden color, which is rapidly rubbing off, but I'm keeping as much of those chips as possible). It has a golden chain and a little cross. It's very simple, smells like Jen's perfume, and I keep it in my pocket all day and by my bed all night.

Gee, I wonder who you got that one from?

I have a rose petal rosary that was given to me by one of the priests in high school, and it was blessed by JPII. I just ordered a custom made one, but it's taking awhile because they don't have the Rosary center of St. Joseph of Cupertino that I ordered. Does anyone know where I can find one? It's coming as a kit that I'm going to put together myself. It's has a 3" "demon beater" crucifix, olive (Hail Mary) and walnut (Our Father) beads on a brown cord. It's going to be so awesome if I ever get it.

Which one?

Travel: Speed wheel.

Car: I have an olivewood rosary from when I was in Israel.

Pocket: I have a rosary that was given to me by Msgr. Schuler. It also has two medals attached. One is a Miraculous Medal and one is a medal of St. Josemaria.

Home: I have a full 15 decade rosary. I got it from Card. Mayer. It is made of marble and the crucifix is JPII. It also has a Miraculous Medal.

I also have a several others. I have one that I was given from an audience with the Holy Father. I have one that was given to me by Card. Caprio. I have one that was given to me by Archbishop Burke. I also have one that I was given by hot stuff.

I usually have several on me that I will give away. I think that I have given hundreds away over the last 10 years or so. It is kinda a thing that hot stuff and I do.

I used to have soo many of them, but they were all somehow lost or broken.

Lately, I have just been using my fingers. Very convenient and I learned not to defer praying the rosary just because there isn't one.

I have a beautiful green rosary that someone brought me back from Roma. It was blessed by Pope Benedict. It's beautiful. There are little pink roses on each bead and the links and the crucifix are sterling silver. My favorite color is green and pink roses are my favorite flowers, so it's really special.

[Piccoli Fiori JMJ]

I have a Chaplet of the Infant of Prague and the beads were made by the Carmelites in Des Plaines from rose petals Let me get a picture because it is beautiful!
