Measuring approximately \u003cstrong\u003e22in (56cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e and weighing \u003cstrong\u003e1.1oz (30g)\u003c\/strong\u003e, with approximately \u003cstrong\u003e8mm beads\u003c\/strong\u003e, this five-decade rosary brings the symbolism of the St. Benedict Medal throughout the entire strand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#9a7530;\"\u003eWhite Textured Prayer Beads\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rosary is made with distinctive \u003cstrong\u003ewhite textured acrylic beads\u003c\/strong\u003e shaped in a rounded bicone form. Their raised, faceted surface catches and diffuses the light, creating a delicate sparkle that differs noticeably from ordinary smooth rosary beads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bright white beads contrast with the warm \u003cstrong\u003eantique gold-tone chain\u003c\/strong\u003e, creating an elegant white-and-gold appearance throughout all five decades. This combination gives the rosary a ceremonial quality while keeping each bead clearly defined and easy to move through during prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#9a7530;\"\u003eSt. Benedict Medal Markers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach Our Father position is marked with a small round \u003cstrong\u003eSt. Benedict Medal\u003c\/strong\u003e in antique gold tone. The traditional cross and initials associated with the \u003cem\u003eCrux Sancti Patris Benedicti\u003c\/em\u003e appear on the medal face, placing the symbolism of Saint Benedict at every transition between the five mysteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRather than limiting the St. Benedict devotion to one central medal, this design carries it repeatedly across the full rosary. The medal markers also provide clear tactile and visual reference points between each decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#9a7530;\"\u003eDouble-Sided St. Benedict Centerpiece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe large round centerpiece is a complete \u003cstrong\u003eSt. Benedict Medal\u003c\/strong\u003e. One side depicts Saint Benedict holding the Cross and the Rule, surrounded by the traditional inscription associated with seeking his presence at the hour of death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse carries the familiar St. Benedict cross design and its traditional initials, including the prayer of resistance to evil commonly associated with the medal. Together, both sides create a centerpiece entirely dedicated to the life, faith, and spiritual heritage of Saint Benedict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#9a7530;\"\u003eGold-Tone St. Benedict Crucifix\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rosary concludes with an antique gold-tone \u003cstrong\u003eSt. Benedict crucifix\u003c\/strong\u003e. The front features the corpus of Christ beneath the \u003cem\u003eINRI\u003c\/em\u003e tablet, with the St. Benedict Medal integrated into the center of the Cross.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse displays Saint Benedict holding the Cross and the Rule, while \u003cstrong\u003e“JERUSALEM” is engraved down the vertical beam\u003c\/strong\u003e. This engraving connects the devotional symbolism of the crucifix with the Holy City where Christ’s Passion, Crucifixion, burial, and Resurrection took place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause both sides carry meaningful imagery, the crucifix remains fully devotional from every angle rather than serving only as a decorative pendant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#9a7530;\"\u003eA Complete St. Benedict Rosary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis rosary is distinguished by the repeated presence of the St. Benedict Medal throughout its construction: at every Our Father position, on both sides of the centerpiece, and on both sides of the crucifix. It is therefore especially suited to Catholics with a strong devotion to Saint Benedict and those drawn to the traditional symbolism of his medal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe white textured beads and antique gold-tone metalwork also give this version a different visual identity from darker olive wood, natural stone, or silver-tone St. Benedict rosaries in the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#9a7530;\"\u003eCatholic Prayer \u0026amp; Meaningful Gifting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis traditional \u003cstrong\u003efive-decade Catholic rosary\u003c\/strong\u003e is suitable for daily Rosary prayer, Eucharistic adoration, personal reflection, and devotion to Saint Benedict. Its light weight makes it comfortable to hold, while the textured beads provide a noticeable surface beneath the fingers during prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt makes a meaningful Catholic gift for \u003cem\u003eFirst Communion\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eConfirmation\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eRCIA\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eordination\u003c\/em\u003e, birthdays, Christmas, Easter, the \u003cem\u003eFeast of St. Benedict on July 11\u003c\/em\u003e, or anyone seeking a white-and-gold rosary centered on St. Benedict devotion. It may also be brought to a Catholic priest for blessing before devotional use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the beads, chain, medals, centerpiece, and crucifix gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid prolonged immersion in water and contact with perfumes, oils, household chemicals, or abrasive cleaners, as these may affect the textured bead surface and gold-tone finish. Store the rosary in a pouch or presentation box when not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Piece of Holy Land","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46858337812652,"sku":null,"price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/0784\/8620\/files\/white-st-benedict-rosary-gold-crucifix-11.jpg?v=1785603769","url":"https:\/\/www.pieceofholyland.com\/products\/white-st-benedict-rosary-gold-crucifix","provider":"Piece of Holy Land","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
