Nicaea II 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 II Rosary is a meditation on the Incarnation made visible — created in remembrance of the Second Council of Nicaea, where the Church solemnly affirmed the veneration of sacred images against iconoclasm. This rosary is meant to be prayed with reverence for the holy, visible signs through which God makes Himself known.

At its heart is the Holy Face of Jesus, recalling the Council’s defense of icons not as idols, but as witnesses to the truth that the Word truly became flesh. The Orthodox-style crucifix anchors the design, rendered here in gold-toned metal as a sign of glory, kingship, and victory. On the reverse of the crucifix is the ancient Church Slavonic prayer of triumph and protection, traditionally invoked in spiritual warfare and confidence in God’s power:

“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 grounded, austere character, while Silver Lace gemstone Our Father beads mark the mysteries with quiet distinction. The deep burgundy 95 paracord evokes blood, martyrdom, and the costly defense of truth, while the gold-toned hardware reflects the sacred beauty Nicaea II sought to protect.

Hand-tied, lightweight, and fully wearable, the Nicaea II Rosary is built for daily prayer — for those who honor Christ not only in word, but in image, sacrament, and lived devotion.

This is a rosary for those who believe that matter matters — that God sanctifies the visible world, and that holy images lead the faithful not away from Him, but toward Him.

Why this rosary is different:
The Nicaea II Rosary reflects the Church’s defense of sacred beauty and embodied faith. Where Nicaea I confessed Christ in creed, Nicaea II defended Him in image — proclaiming that what God has made visible may be honored without fear. Eastern and Western elements meet again at the Cross, united by gold-toned reverence and enduring prayer.
