Rosaries and jewelry
The Rosary: a miraculous prayer
For over 800 years now, the Rosary has been and still is a popular prayer within the Catholic Church. It was given by Our Lady to Saint Dominic around 1214 and has ever since been promulgated by the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) and a myriad of saints, priests, religious, and laypeople. Millions of Catholics worldwide pray the Rosary daily, and more than a few of them have already experienced the wonders of loyal dedication to this prayer. Devotion to Our Lady and her Rosary has not only been converting non-believers and liberating demonically oppressed and possessed people. It also has been working miracles in both the past and the present, of which the victory of the Holy League against the Ottoman Empire at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571 is the most spectacular, and which led to the institution of the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.
Rosaries and chaplets by Philothea
At Philothea, we sell handmade rosaries in different styles and materials. Every Philothea rosary is a unique, or almost unique, creation that has been made as a form of active prayer and a testimony to our utmost love and devotion for Our Lady.
Besides rosaries, we can also make different other types of chaplets, e.g. chaplet of Our Lady of Sorrows, chaplet of St. Michael, ...
Ready-made rosaries and chaplets will be shortly available in our Etsy shop, but you can also order completely custom-made rosaries to suit your taste. We have a selection of crosses and centers, and a wide variety of beads (wood, glass, natural stone, semi-precious stone, ...) in different sizes (6 or 8 mm). To guarantee the durability and strength of your rosaries, all Philothea rosaries are knotted with either waxed cotton or polyester cord, or strung on a strong nylon thread fixed to the metal pieces through crimp beads and rings.
We can also repair your old or broken rosaries, whether it be a simple repair or the creation of a new rosary using the beads and parts of your old rosary.
If you own old rosaries you do not use (anymore), do not hesitate to contact us. Philothea will provide it with a new home or use it for a newly created rosary.
More than just rosaries and chaplets
Rosaries and chaplets are not the only creations of our workshop. We also make unique jewelry that often has a religiously inspired design.
All our ready-made rosaries and jewelry will shortly be available through Etsy.
