Description
A beautiful, bright wooden Missionary Rosary strung on strong Brown cord.
It is a very attractive Rosary with antique gold accents on the centre medal and the Crucifix.
The centre medal is that of Our Lady of Grace on one side and the Sacred Heart of Jesus on the other. The Crucifix depicts the Holy Trinity. Both the Medal and the Crucifix are in antique gold, complimenting the Rosary beautifully.
