With 240 color photos and engaging text, this is the first book
devoted to collecting rosaries. Hundreds of examples and
informative text enables antique lovers, historians, and collectors
of religious artifacts to identify variations of rosaries, and
their crosses, crucifixes, and religious medals, determining their
age and place of origin. It contains historical insights and
descriptions, explaining materials used and legends associated with
various rosaries. Background information on rosary makers, answers
to frequently asked questions, and a glossary to define related
terms are also included. With the information enclosed, readers
searching brick and mortar stores or online will be able to
distinguish between genuine antiques, reproductions, and rosaries
that have been altered. The color photographs and concise
descriptions identify old and new rosaries in detail. From the
boxwood rosary owned by England's King Henry VIII to the newest
Mysteries of Light Rosary developed by Pope John Paul II, this
volume spans the ages and brings new understanding of both the
rosary's beauty and its place in history.
