Product Description
SMALL WOOD BEAD MISSION ROSARY
This small rosary is made with colorful 7mm wood beads on a white nylon cord with a plain wood cross. Archbishop Fulton J.Sheen, national director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, designed the World Mission Rosary in 1951 exhorting prayer for the whole world. Each decade represents a different area: green for the forests and grasslands of Africa; blue for the ocean around the islands of the Pacific; white symbolizing Europe, the seat of the Holy Father; red calling to mind the fire of faith that brought missionaries to the Americas, and yellow, the morning light of the east, for Asia.
