TRP: Paint it Black
FGR: Tuque Tuesday
I loved this two themes today, I combined them in one shot. Wearing my favourite winter hat (never knew they call it a Tuque) and with the black background and the reflecting light I had to hold my rosary, which is very special to me. Although I’m not really religious I just love the rosary. I have quite a collection of them, still looking for the right one made out of wood.
Bishop joins hundreds at Christmas Eve rosary
By Joyce Coronel | January 15, 2009 | The Catholic Sun
In what has become an annual event, Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted joined with more than 300 Catholics to pray the rosary in front of a central Phoenix Planned Parenthood clinic Dec. 24.
While many Valley residents were busy with last-minute shopping, wrapping and baking, Catholics from across the diocese gathered at noon in front of the abortion clinic to pray the rosary. Phoenix police officers stood nearby as the faithful assembled, flanking a large image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the patroness of the unborn.
A half-dozen priests were on hand as well and organizers carried walkie-talkies to coordinate the prayerful event.
“We come here on Christmas Eve to celebrate the birth of Christ, Who just 24 hours before His birth, had no legal protection,” Bishop Olmsted told the crowd prior to commencing the rosary.
The bishop prayed that the mothers who entered the clinic and were seeking an abortion would find instead “the support they need to live out the vocation of motherhood.” He also prayed for the conversion of “those who make political decisions in opposition to human life.”
Hundreds of Catholics of all ages lined the crowded sidewalk at the corner of Seventh Avenue and Roma Street, many of them bearing signs or pushing strollers. One woman held a sign with an image of an unborn baby that proclaimed, “I’m not just tissue.” Another family held a banner that read, “Stop abortion now.”
Debbie Gambert of Chandler said she was there because “the killing never ends and it’s important for us to stand against it.” Gambert, who also helped organize the “40 Days for Life” prayer campaign last year, said that the Christmas Eve rosary was “where Christ would want us to be.”
Many of the participants came as families to the event and stood facing the busy traffic along Seventh Avenue.

Depicted in the miniature altarpiece are the fifteen mysteries associated with the Virgin's life: five joyful, five sorrowful and five glorious. The scene at the base seems related to a popular legen of a miracle that saved a man from his captors: the Christ Child unfurls a rosary of white and red roses made from blossoms that issue from the man's mouth each time he recites a Hail Mary. The picture includes a topographical view of the park and Coudenberg Palace of the dukes of Brabant in Brussels and must have been commissioned for a member of the Habsburg court, possibly the lords of Ravensteyn. The artist proposed as the possible author was Rogier van der Weyden's grandson.

Rosaries are valued in Kurdistan both for praying and for its ornamental use. The most popular, and probably most common (and surely more artistic one) is the handmade Qazwan rosary.
My first picture is a rosary that my Grandpa made of buckeyes on his farm. He made it in the 1970's. This picture is special to our family because it is really cool. Our family makes these a lot. It is hanging on my living room wall.

My dear friend as Nightcrawler from the X-Men movie X2, July 2008. This oversized rosary we made with cut nails and wooden beads is my favorite part of the costume.
The fire polished Czech glass Ave beads on this rosary are a most unusual antique rose color. Alternately flashing pink, peach, gold and lavender, they call to mind one of Our Lady's most beautiful titles in the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary: Mystical Rose.
The very next title, "Tower of David," is also represented here in magnificent vintage Czech glass cathedral beads in royal purple, capped in gold.
Each Ave is paired with a tiny crystalline Czech glass bead lined in gold foil. The union of the two is meant to recall the Mother's embrace of her holy Child, who is lit from within with the spark of the Divine.
The antiqued sterling silver Miraculous Metal center is surrounded by tiny pale blue Czech glass beads signifying Mary's purity and the waters of baptism that call to all of us.
A striking mirror polished sterling silver cross is mounted with an antiqued sterling corpus and flanked by four unfolding flowers, the gospels in full bloom.
Rosa Mystica, ora pro nobis!
