Misuri a casa in 2 minuti
Le serviranno una striscia di carta (o uno spago, un laccio), una penna e un righello.
- Prenda uno spago o un laccio e segni la lunghezza che Le interessa, ad esempio 50 cm.
- Unisca i due segni dietro la nuca, indossando il tipo di maglia che porta di solito.
- Si guardi allo specchio: il punto più basso dello spago è dove cadrà la catena.
- Troppo alta o troppo bassa? Provi 5 cm in più o in meno: corrisponde a una taglia in più o in meno.
Ha già una catena che Le piace? La stenda in piano, con la chiusura chiusa, e la misuri da un'estremità all'altra. Con un collo o un torace larghi, ogni lunghezza cade un po' più in alto.
Niente righello? Una carta bancaria è lunga 8,6 cm: conti quante ne entrano lungo la striscia.

Come indossarlo
This rosary is 49 cm (19.3 in) long with 10 mm wooden beads, a size that sits comfortably in the hand for prayer. It can be kept in a pocket, a bag or a car, or worn loosely around the neck over a sweater, with the crucifix at the front.
Natural wood should stay dry: take it off before a shower or a swim and keep it away from perfume. At 33 g it is light to carry every day. It suits a first communion or confirmation from a godparent, especially for a child who has chosen Saint Benedict, and Easter.
Domande
What are Saint Benedict's beads?
A rosary that includes the Saint Benedict medal or crucifix. This one has wooden beads, a crucifix marked INRI and the medal of Saint Benedict.
What does INRI on the crucifix mean?
It stands for the Latin Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum, Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, the inscription placed on the cross according to the Gospel of John.
Is the wooden Benedictine Rosary light enough to wear as a necklace?
Yes. It weighs 33 g and measures 49 cm (19.3 in), so it can be worn around the neck or simply carried for prayer. The 10 mm wooden beads feel warm rather than heavy.
How do I keep the natural wood beads of the Benedictine Rosary from dulling?
Keep them dry, since water can dull natural wood, and wipe them with the microfiber cloth included. Hold the beads gently rather than pulling on the cord, and store the rosary flat in its gift box.
Is a Saint Benedict rosary a fitting first communion gift for a godchild?
Yes. The large wooden beads are easy for a child to hold, and the Saint Benedict medal joins the old Benedictine prayer against evil to the child's first rosary.
Can a priest bless the Benedictine Rosary, crucifix and medal together?
Yes. One blessing covers the whole rosary, including the INRI crucifix and the Saint Benedict medal. It arrives unblessed; any priest can bless it, usually after Mass.
I want to start praying the rosary, which rosary should I buy?
Starting is the hard part, and it is fine to feel clumsy. You do not need a beautiful rosary. You need one you will pick up tonight, and your hands will learn the rest. The Benedictine Rosary has 10 mm wood beads, easy to feel, 49 cm, with the Saint Benedict crucifix. The Devout Rosary has 8 mm hematite beads and a medal of Mary at its center. If five decades feels like a lot, begin with one. More: Rosary Jewelry.
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

Il suo significato
Wood, INRI and Saint Benedict
This rosary brings together two old Catholic devotions.
The beads count the prayers of the rosary, mostly Hail Marys, said while meditating on the Gospel. The medal belongs to Saint Benedict, the sixth-century monk whose Rule shaped monastic life in the West, and it carries Latin initials asking the cross to be a light. On the crucifix you can read INRI, the initials of the Latin title Pilate placed above Jesus, naming him King of the Jews. The beads are natural wood, separated by metal spacers, and the rosary measures 49 cm. Some Catholics prefer...
Da regalare
A first rosary for a godchild at first communion, or a confirmation gift for a teenager who has taken Saint Benedict as a confirmation saint. At Easter, it suits anyone who prays with beads.
