"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 the beads are made is pruned from the local olive groves — olive branches themselves are a traditional symbol of peace.

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

The Byzantine crucifix of this chaplet is solid bronze, cast from an antique original. The style of the crucifix is typical of the first millennium.

The pendant is jasper, shaped like an olive leaf.

The spacer beads are matte glass in various shapes, sizes, and colors. Alongside the Paters are beads of solid brass.

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.
