How To Make An Irish Rosary
The rosary is a very significant prayer tool of Catholics and Christians of different traditions such as the Anglican and the Episcopal. Even though there are different variations, praying the rosary allows an individual to enter a meditative kind of praying. No wonder, the rosary has a reach in every corner of the Christian world. However, there are slight variations such as in Ireland. Catholicism is an important flavor of the Irish taste.
Saint Patrick, the popular patron saint of Ireland, is celebrated on March 17 as his feast day. This feast day was influenced by Luke Wadding, a member of the commission reforming the Breviary in early 1600s. Saint Brigid and Saint Columba are also patron saints of Ireland.
Whether you are a proud Irish or just enjoy with Irish items, making an Irish rosary is quite easy. You can make one for you own or as a gift for your loved ones. A personally crafted Irish rosary is more valuable because it is created with your love and care. Of course purchasing one from a gift shop or a religious shop in Ireland is not bad. However, making your own adds personal touch to this religious item. You will need:
• Celtic cross (this kind of cross is of Irish distinction because it was believed that St. Patrick had created this cross over a sacred stone of the Pagan moon goddess with a circular symbol. He then drew a Latin cross over this symbol, blessed it and thus created the first Celtic cross.)
• A medallion portratying an Irish saint such as St. Brigid or St. Patrick
St. Patrick is the patron Saint of Ireland. On the other hand, St. Brigid is an Irish nun who religiously devoted her life to the teachings of St. Patrick. These two saints play a vital role in Irish Catholicism.
• Green beads (same size and shapes)
• Silver or gold beads
• Thin yet durable cord
Steps:
1.) Make sure that your Celtic cross has a small hole on the top. If there is none, you should drill it or make a hole using an awl. After securing this hole, loop the crucifix using a thread and secure this with a knot. It is okay to use a lengthy string so that you could hold all the beads. After all, you can always trim the excess string after you are finished.
2.) After securing a knot for your crucifix, Pater Bead and three Ave beads. Secure with a knot thread in the medallion portraying St. Patrick or St. Brigid. Secure this with a knot.
3.) After the knot, let your cord separate into two to form your rosary chain. Thread in a Pater bead, secure with a knot and follow it with ten Ave beads. Secure the Ave beads and continue this step until you are finished with the set of the five decades. Just make sure that you secure every bead with a knot to allow firm placement on the cord.
