The Via Crucis—“The Way of the Cross”—is not a path of comfort, but of endurance, surrender, and resolute love. This rosary is built with that spirit in mind. Its gray-brown tones evoke weathered wood, worn stone chapels, and the steady faith of those who walk the Stations in silence.
American-made gray-brown stained birch Hail Mary beads form the backbone of the design—earthy, grounded, and austere. The 10mm Larvikite gemstone Our Father beads introduce a darker, storm-toned depth, recalling the weight of Good Friday and the granite resolve required to carry the Cross.
At the center rests the Holy Face of Jesus in a gunmetal gray finish—a powerful reminder that the Passion is not an abstract devotion, but a real and personal encounter. The rosary concludes with a premium Eastern Crucifix, featuring Church Slavonic inscription on the back, drawing the heart toward the universal Church and the ancient proclamation of Christ crucified.
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 inscription on the back reads:
“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.”
Hand-tied for strength and reliability, this rosary is built to endure daily prayer, long vigils, and years of faithful use.
