{"product_id":"virgin-mary-jerusalem-cross-bracelet","title":"Carved Olive Wood Bracelet with Mary \u0026 Jerusalem Cross Medals","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis carved olive wood stretch bracelet alternates \u003cstrong\u003erose-shaped olive wood beads\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003edouble-sided silver-tone medals\u003c\/strong\u003e. Each medal presents the \u003cem\u003eVirgin Mary\u003c\/em\u003e on one face and the \u003cem\u003eJerusalem Cross\u003c\/em\u003e on the reverse, bringing Marian devotion and the Christian symbolism of Jerusalem together in one continuous design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe carved beads measure approximately \u003cstrong\u003e0.43in (11mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the bracelet a substantial profile and a distinctly tactile surface. Its elastic construction requires no clasp and is designed to fit most adult wrists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7530;\"\u003eCarved Olive Wood Rose Beads\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach olive wood bead is carved with overlapping layers resembling the petals of a rose. The relief adds depth and texture while allowing the natural grain of the wood to remain visible across the raised and recessed surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rose has a close connection with Marian devotion. The word \u003cem\u003eRosary\u003c\/em\u003e comes from the Latin \u003cem\u003erosarium\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning a garden or garland of roses. Placing carved olive wood roses between the Marian medals gives the floral design a devotional purpose as well as a distinctive appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7530;\"\u003eDouble-Sided Devotional Medals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe silver-tone medals are integrated directly into the elastic strand rather than suspended as hanging charms. One side depicts the \u003cstrong\u003eVirgin Mary\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the reverse carries the \u003cstrong\u003eJerusalem Cross\u003c\/strong\u003e with its central cross and four smaller crosses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the bracelet shifts naturally on the wrist, both sides of the medals may come into view. This changing presentation allows the design to alternate between an image of \u003cem\u003eOur Lady\u003c\/em\u003e and one of Christianity’s most recognizable symbols of Jerusalem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7530;\"\u003eMary and the Jerusalem Cross\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe two images share a direct connection with the Holy Land. Mary’s earthly life extended from the Annunciation in Nazareth and the Nativity in Bethlehem to her presence during Christ’s Passion in Jerusalem. The Jerusalem Cross recalls the holy city of the Crucifixion and Resurrection and is traditionally interpreted as representing either the five wounds of Christ or the spread of the Gospel from Jerusalem to the four corners of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy placing Mary and the Jerusalem Cross on opposite sides of every medal, the bracelet connects Marian devotion with the places and events at the heart of the Christian faith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #9a7530;\"\u003eA Holy Land Devotional Gift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of carved roses, olive wood and double-sided medals makes this bracelet especially suitable for Marian feast days, pilgrimages, Confirmation, First Communion, Mother’s Day, Christmas, Easter and everyday prayer. Although its devotional subject may appeal particularly to women, the natural wood and antiqued silver-tone finish make the design suitable for any adult drawn to Marian devotion and Jerusalem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Olive wood and silver-tone metal\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBead design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carved rose beads\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBead diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 0.43in (11mm)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedal design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Virgin Mary on one side and Jerusalem Cross on the reverse\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elastic stretch bracelet\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed to fit most adult wrists\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Holy Land\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRoll the bracelet gently over the hand rather than pulling or overstretching the elastic.
