Our Lady Star of the Sea (Stella Maris) is one of the Virgin Mary's names. Stella Maris is seen as a sign of hope and as a guiding star for Christians, especially those who love the sea - but equally as much for those who "sail the seas of life".
This handmade Catholic Stella Maris rosary has iridescent deep blue crystal pearls for the Hail Mary beads, silver pewter shells for the Our Father prayer beads & includes a medal of Our Lady, Star of the Sea.
The pearls are linked into the rosary by hand with silver-plated rosary wire, and the shell beads are wire-wrapped to give extra strength where needed. This rosary will last for many years of prayer.
The center medal is the Miraculous Medal of Our Lady, also known as the medal of the Immaculate Conception). The crucifix is a "radiant" style with a burst of light behind the figure of Christ, signifying His resurrection, and a medal of Stella Maris hangs alongside.
Under the name Stella Maris, the Virgin Mary is believed to intercede as a guide and protector of those who travel or seek their livelihoods on the sea. This would also be a lovely wedding rosary for anyone traveling or marrying near the sea, or with a special affinity for the oceans of the world.
