A single decade lets the prayer be taken up anywhere during the day. The crucifix carries the Saint Benedict medal, whose cross and Latin initials ask God's protection against evil, and the small medals between the beads honor Saint Benedict, the Miraculous Medal or the Eucharist, depending on the version. This stretch-cord decade has ten dark polished oval beads, antique silver medals in shield, oval, Miraculous Medal or Eucharist style, and a Saint Benedict crucifix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the rush of the day, a moment with God\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween two meetings you have five minutes.

Ten dark oval beads (about 6 x 8 mm) alternate with small antique silver medals, and a 22 x 12 mm Saint Benedict crucifix hangs at the wrist. It looks sober next to a watch or on its own with a shirt cuff. The stone beads and alloy medals should stay dry, so take it off before washing up, showering or swimming. Four medal designs are offered, from the Saint Benedict shield to a Eucharist medal. It suits a confirmation, Father's Day or Easter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe prayer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Going around five times makes a full rosary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the four designs?\u003c\/strong\u003e They change the medals between the beads: Saint Benedict in a shield or an oval, the Miraculous Medal of Mary, or a Eucharist medal. The crucifix is the Saint Benedict crucifix in every version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes The Wrist Decade need a clasp to go on?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. It is strung on a stretch cord that slips over the hand and adjusts to most adult wrists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I look after the stretch cord and stone beads of The Wrist Decade?\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep it dry and roll it on and off rather than pulling it, so the cord keeps its tension. Water can also wear the antique silver tone of the medals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes The Wrist Decade look sober enough for a man who wears a watch?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The dark oval stone beads and antique silver medals are discreet, and the 22 x 12 mm crucifix stays small at the wrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan a one-decade rosary like The Wrist Decade be blessed like a full rosary?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. A decade is a rosary in short form, and a priest or deacon can bless it the same way, often after Mass. It arrives unblessed, and the blessing is a custom, not a requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!--\/bc-ai-more--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bennett \u0026 Cross","offers":[{"title":"Saint Benedict Shield","offer_id":55228425011541,"sku":"CJSL125474701AZ","price":69.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Saint Benedict Oval","offer_id":55228425044309,"sku":"CJSL125474704DW","price":69.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Miraculous Medal","offer_id":55228425077077,"sku":"CJSL125474703CX","price":69.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Eucharist","offer_id":55228425109845,"sku":"CJSL125474702BY","price":69.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/5964\/2197\/files\/the-wrist-decade-front-saint-benedict-shield-2026-10.jpg?v=1791784983","url":"https:\/\/bennettandcross.com\/en-gb\/products\/the-wrist-decade-533760","provider":"Bennett \u0026 Cross","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
