Happy Easter 2021!
This rosary is my handmade, an Easter gift for my mother.
This one is part of my the "Objects that define me" project... I have too much going on right now lol I'm a bit bummed out that the cross is not in total focus but on the other hand I think it gives it something:P

The dress form of my dreams is adorned with coins from around the world, my collection of antique rosaries and a time worn cowboy hat which holds many fond memories.
"The present festival, the birth of the Mother of God, is the prelude, while the final act is the fore-ordained union of the Word with flesh. Today the Virgin is born, tended and formed and prepared for her role as Mother of God, who is the universal King of the ages. Justly, then, do we celebrate this mystery since it signifies for us a double grace".

Looking up at the mosaic dome of the Rosary Basilica in Lourdes.
Had this for years, it reaches from the top of the bookcase down to the floor. Looking it up, I learn that the leaves should be darker so it probably needs more light, though it has always been beside the window.
"“You ask whether St. Dominic was the first institutor of the Rosary, and show that you yourselves are bewildered and entangled in doubts on the matter. Now, what value do you attach to the testimony of so many Popes, such as Leo X (1521), Pius V (1572), Gregory XIII (1585), Sixtus V (1590), Clement VIII (1605), Alexander VII (1667), Bl. Innocent XI (1689), Clement XI (1721), Innocent XIII (1724) and others who unanimously attribute the institution of the Rosary to St. Dominic, the founder of the Dominican Order, an apostolic man who might be compared to the apostles themselves and who, undoubtedly due to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, became the designer, the author, promoter, and most illustrious preacher of this admirable and truly heavenly instrument, the Rosary.”" – Pope Benedict XIV.

Notes: identified as Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Juniorate in Leura.
"Leura House was purchased by the "Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart" order of the Catholic Church towards the end of 1950, when the Misses Standish, the current proprietors wished to move to Sydney. The order was living in the St. Mary's Juniorate in Grose Street, Leura and needed to expand their accommodation because of the increasing number of girls applying to enter the novitiate, at what was considered too early an age. It was therefore decided to expand the operation so that the girls could profitably pursue their studies until old enough to enter the Novitiate, if their vocation appeared genuine."

St Martin de Porres OP is known as the 'Saint of the Broom' because of his humility – he wanted to be as useful as a broom and then put away when not needed – and also because it is a sign of his diligence in his duties as a Dominican lay brother in 16th-century Peru.

The Rosary Portico around the Memorial Church of the Holy Sepulchre (Franciscan Monastery, Washington DC) has 15 mosaics commemorating the lives of Jesus and Our Lady, taken from the mysteries of the Rosary.
Running along the portico are ceramic plaques bearing the 'Hail Mary' in nearly 200 ancient and modern languages. The Rosary Portico is reminiscent of the cloister of St John Lateran and St Paul’s Outside the Walls in Rome.
I had completely forgotten about this picture until now. I was supposed to post this on Easter Sunday.
This took a lot of tries since it was not easy taking a picture of a rosary dangling from the rearview mirror from the backseat of a moving vehicle. This picture was mostly luck, but I still had to crop it because the original composition was not as appealing.
I was thinking of cloning out the flare in the bottom right side of the photo but I left it out because I didn't want to enhance the photo in any way. This is a different kind of a sunset picture from the ones I usually post. Here the sun and the trees are unfocused; the focus is given to the rosary. I think this photo represents how I see God. I see Him everywhere. Especially in nature, when I can't help but admire the beauty of His creation.
I am proud to say that this image was selected as the cover photo for the group Anything you would show your grads.
My Father bought me a Rosary, shortly afterwards he passed away. A few years later it was stolen, I decided to get it tattooed so it could never get taken again. See more tattoo designs and the stories behind them at deanstreetdesigns.com
"O God, Whose only - begotten Son by His life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life; grant, we beseech Thee, that meditating upon these mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ, our Lord. Amen."

Another attempt with my macro lens. A bit trickier here than my last attempt, but I have to practice if I'm going to get good at it.
I bought this rosary back in 2002 in Toronto when I went to World Youth Day with a group of friends from college. I honestly thought I had lost these and just found them (amazing since I was thinking how nice it would be to have something like this to practice macros).
Used a giant white tri-fold display board as a "light box" and used a desk lamp CFL to light the scene, then tweaked colors in Adobe Lightroom. No cropping.
