The Elizabeth Ann Seton Rosary
This rosary was reverently hand-crafted, and I pray for its future owner through the intercession of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first American-born saint and founder of The Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph ❀ It is designed with a mix of black tourmaline and white agate for your decades, inspired by the habit of the order of sisters Elizabeth founded! White roses are used for Our Father beads for each design in this collection, to remind us daughters of Christ the beauty and purity He placed in you! Each bead is individually threaded, linked together by hand-curled eyepins, with small chain links connecting the Our Father roses.
As you already know, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton was the first American-born saint to be canonized (1975)! She was an Episcopalian mother of 5 at age 29 when she lost her husband. This triggered her conversion to Catholicism, and she was invited with her children to the Catholic safehaven of Maryland where she founded a tuition-free school for less fortunate girls. She became a religious sister, founding The Sisters of Charity of St. Joseph - the first ever religious order to allow widowed mothers with children to enter. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, pray for us!
