"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 olive leaf pendant is mottled green stone. (The stone appears to us to be serpentinite, but we’re not positive.)

The Pater bead is serpentinite, between caps of antiqued solid brass.

The Aves are Bethlehem olive wood, carved there in the traditional circles pattern.

The spacer beads are matte glass in various shapes, colors and sizes — in an asymmetrical arrangement unique to this chaplet.

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.
