Nicaea I Rosary

This rosary features a traditional Eastern Christian crucifix, long used by Eastern Catholic Churches in communion with Rome. It is fully suitable for praying the Roman Catholic Rosary.

The Nicaea I Rosary is a meditation on unity, orthodoxy, and spiritual authority — created in remembrance of the First Council of Nicaea, where the Church gathered to proclaim, defend, and confess the truth of Christ against error and division. This rosary is meant to be prayed deliberately, with clarity of faith and firmness of conviction.

At its center is the Holy Face of Jesus, drawing the prayer inward — toward the Incarnate Word confessed at Nicaea as true God from true God. The Orthodox-style crucifix anchors the design, bearing a Church Slavonic prayer engraved on its reverse, traditionally prayed as a declaration of God’s triumph over evil and a petition for spiritual protection:

“Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered; and let those who hate Him flee from His face. As smoke vanishes, let them vanish; and as wax melts from the presence of fire, so let the demons perish from the presence of those who love God.”

American-made stained charcoal birch wood Hail Mary beads give the rosary its sober, ash-toned character, while Silver Lace gemstone Our Father beads mark the mysteries with subtle contrast. Hand-tied with durable navy 95 paracord, the Nicaea I Rosary is intentionally lightweight and wearable, built for frequent prayer rather than display.

This is a rosary for those who pray for the unity of the Church in truth — rooted in the Creed, guarded by the Cross, and confident that God still arises and scatters His enemies.

Why this rosary is different:
The Nicaea I Rosary is not symbolic nostalgia — it is a working prayer tool shaped by the Church’s first great confession of faith. Its Eastern and Western elements meet at the Cross, reflecting a time before division, when the Church spoke with one voice. Built for endurance and daily use, it invites the wearer to pray not only the mysteries of Christ, but also for the unity of His Body in truth.
