Tarvitset paperisuikaleen (tai narun tai kengännauhan), kynän ja viivoittimen.
- Ota naru tai kengännauha ja merkitse siihen harkitsemasi pituus, esimerkiksi 50 cm.
- Pidä merkit yhdessä niskan takana, päälläsi sellainen paita, jota yleensä käytät.
- Katso peiliin: narun alin kohta on se, mihin ketju asettuu.
- Liian ylhäällä tai alhaalla? Kokeile 5 cm enemmän tai vähemmän: se on yksi koko isompi tai pienempi.
Onko sinulla jo ketju, josta pidät? Aseta se tasaiselle alustalle lukko kiinni ja mittaa se päästä päähän. Leveällä kaulalla tai rintakehällä jokainen pituus asettuu hieman ylemmäs.
Eikö viivoitinta löydy? Pankkikortti on 8,6 cm pitkä: laske, montako mahtuu suikaleen pituudelle.

How to wear it
The rosary is a 58 cm (22.8 in) loop of 10 mm beads, with two Jerusalem crosses of 3.5 x 4 cm. Slipped over the head, it falls around mid-chest with the cross hanging below, and it stands out over a plain sweater or a dark shirt. Many people simply keep it in a pocket and take it out to pray.
Keep it dry: take it off before a shower, a swim or the gym, and store it in a pouch so the beads do not knock against other jewelry. It suits a confirmation gift from a godparent, Easter, or a trip to the Holy Land.
Questions
What is a Jerusalem cross?
A large cross with a small cross in each of its four corners, five crosses in all. It has been the emblem of Jerusalem and of Holy Land pilgrims since the Middle Ages.
Can I wear this rosary around my neck?
Yes. The 58 cm loop slips over the head and the cross hangs below the middle of the chest. Many Catholics keep a rosary mainly for prayer, but wearing it with respect, as a visible sign of faith, is common.
How big are the beads and the crosses?
The beads are 10 mm and each Jerusalem cross measures 3.5 x 4 cm. The whole rosary is 58 cm (22.8 in) around.
How do I pray with a rosary?
Begin on the cross with the Apostles' Creed, pray an Our Father on each single bead and a Hail Mary on each bead of the groups of ten, with a Glory Be after each group. Each group of ten is called a decade.
Can the beads get wet?
No. Keep the rosary away from the shower, the pool and the sea, and wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after handling.
Is The Pilgrim's Rosary a good gift for someone back from the Holy Land?
Yes. The Jerusalem cross is the emblem of the Holy Land, brought home by pilgrims for centuries, so it keeps the memory of their pilgrimage. It also suits someone who dreams of going.
The prayer
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
The Hail Mary, traditional prayer of the rosary

Its meaning
Two Jerusalem crosses on one rosary
For centuries, pilgrims to Jerusalem have come home with a rosary and a cross, and the Jerusalem cross became the sign of that pilgrimage. It is the emblem of the Holy Land: one large cross with four smaller ones between its arms. Its shape is often linked to the five wounds Christ received on Calvary, just outside the walls of that city. This rosary carries two of these crosses, each 3.5 by 4 cm, on a string of natural beads 58 cm around. It is meant for the prayers of the rosary, mostly the Hail...
Giving it as a gift
A thoughtful gift for a godparent to give at confirmation, or for someone who dreams of walking in Jerusalem one day. It also fits Easter, when the city is at the heart of the story.
