"May a constant prayer for peace rise in the Church with the praying of the rosary..."
— Saint John Paul II

This one-of-a-kind chaplet is part of our series of Peace Chaplets made of olive wood beads carved in Bethlehem, Palestine — birthplace of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. The wood from which these beads are made comes from branches pruned from the local olive groves there — olive branches themselves are an age-old symbol of peace.

Each of the chaplets in this series also incorporates a green stone pendant reminiscent of an olive leaf.

The solid bronze cross of this chaplet is beautifully shaped. It's cast from an old Coptic original, worn smooth over time.

The olive leaf pendant is stone. (We’re not positive which type of stone it is.)

The oval prayer beads are olive wood from Bethlehem.

The spacer beads are matte glass in various shapes, sizes, and colors.

The chaplet is strung on premium quality Soft Flex jewelers’ cable composed of 49 strands of steel encased in nylon, with a test strength of 26 pounds. Each end is double-crimped for security.
