This “warrior rosary” is a real weapon. A bronze St. Michael center and the Pardon Crucifix complete this powerful rosary. The Archangel Saint Michael is the leader of the heavenly army, defender against evil, and the patron saint of warriors and those in need of protection. The pardon crucifix is a crucifix that incorporates promises of indulgences (remissions of temporal punishment for sins). It 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)
