Olive Wood Rosary - Bethlehem Holy Soil, Christian Gift from Jerusalem

From the Holy Land. Pray the Rosary.

I love this Rosary. It is beautiful. I prayed with it many times now. No regrets in buying it. The only problem is that it is not the one pictured, with the first and 2nd "Our Fathers" being metal like the rest. They are beads up to the Mary medallion with the sand.And that makes me wonder why so many reviewers are saying it cant be worn, other than by children, but others like myself disagree. This fits my head rather easily and i have a pretty big head imho.Maybe there are two differing versions with the metal "Our Father"s not being big enough to wear?? Idk.I hope the seller can help fix this issue. As i said, this beautiful rosary is already a part of me, so id never consider returning it... but i would purchase another to have if i knew for certain i would get the one where all the "Our Father"s were the same.Also, no big deal, but unfortunately when it lays flat around my neck and is all forward... the crucifix faces my chest. And since its rope, which is much nicer, rather than chain... there is no fixing that other than having everything else backwards.I have not benefited in anyway in placing this review. It's simply a great product, well worth a purchase.If this was helpful in considering a purchase please let me know.

The rosary is so beautiful! It was a Christmas gift and the receiver just loved it.

As you can see in the photo, the rosary wood and dirt matches another keepsake gift from Jerusalem, the God Bless Our Home plaque. They have the same wood and dirt. Very happy with that but the crucifix is very light weight. If you need something manly and heavy this is not it. This feels very delicate.

Very exceptional value

This rosary flowed easy over the fingertips great for feeling the bead count without scrapping or irritation... I prefer the natural feel of the beads and rope... the cord is very well knotted and durable... and I have retrieved it out of my Rottweiler's mouth twice... which shows its true durability. Worth it...

Perfect for a youngster learning the rosary.

I do really like this rosary, for the price. It's great quality, the our father beads have a beautiful design, and the Hail Mary beads are also great quality. My main issue with this rosary is that, instead of the third our father bead, there is a clasp to wear the rosary around your neck. (See second picture) While this might not be an issue for a lot of people, I didn't particularly want a wearable rosary, and the person I bought it for wouldn't like it either. I am dissapointed that they didn't include this pretty important feature in the description. This product would have gotten a 5 star rating if I hadn't gotten this clasp. The our father beads on the other four decades are so beautiful, and if the clasp was replaced with that bead, as I was originally lead to believe, I would be completely happy with it.As it is now, I will be returning it. :(
