Millefiori glass beads are unique and colorful beads that feature intricate patterns created by layering and fusing together multiple glass canes or rods. The term “millefiori” translates to “thousand flowers” in Italian, which aptly describes the vibrant and floral-like patterns found on these beads.

The process of creating millefiori glass beads dates back to ancient times, with origins in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and later perfected by artisans in Murano, Italy. It involves taking glass canes of different colors and arranging them into a desired pattern. The canes are then heated, stretched, and cut into small slices, revealing the intricate designs inside. These slices are then applied to molten glass, which is shaped into beads, ensuring the pattern is visible on all sides.

The Miraculous Medal and Pardon Crucifix complete this heirloom quality rosary.  The pardon crucifix is a crucifix that incorporates promises of indulgences (remissions of temporal punishment for sins). The pardon crucifix serves as a reminder of God’s mercy and the importance of seeking forgiveness for one’s sins. (A handout is included with this rosary that explains the Pardon Crucifix, history and indulgences)
