Vintage Italian Pressed Rose Petal Rosary – The Four Major Papal Basilicas of Rome – Commemorative Blessed Pope John Paul II (Beato) Boxed Set (Circa 2011–2014)
Up for sale is a uniquely historical and highly collectible Italian Rose Petal Rosary dedicated to the Four Major Papal Basilicas of Rome. This beautiful devotional item includes its rare, authentic Vatican pilgrim case featuring an interior portrait of \"Beato Giovanni Paolo II\" (Blessed John Paul II).Because of the \"Beato\" title, this specific set can be perfectly dated to a strict 3-year window between May 1, 2011 (his Beatification by Benedict XVI) and April 27, 2014 (his official Canonization as a Saint by Pope Francis). This makes it an incredibly accurate, genuine piece of modern Catholic history.
Item Details & Features:
Beads: Hand-crafted, organic pressed rose petal beads, deep red with a natural textured finish. They traditionally release a sweet, subtle rose fragrance when held or warmed in the hand during prayer.
Our Father Medals: Four highly detailed, silver-toned octagonal metal medallions beautifully depicting the 4 Major Basilicas of Rome (clearly stamped Basilica S. Paolo, S. Pietro, S. Giovanni, and S. Maria Maggiore).
Centerpiece: Beautiful metal medallion featuring a bas-relief bust of the Virgin Mary.
Crucifix: Classic dark red wood inlay framed by a silver-toned metal corpus, stamped \"ITALY\" on the reverse side.
Case Included: Original one-piece flip white/cream color plastic snap box. The outside features a gold-foiled Chi-Rho (☧) Christian monogram inside a victory laurel wreath. The inside lid features a vibrant full-color portrait print of Pope John Paul II holding his pastoral ferula, marked with his brief historical title: \"Beato Giovanni Paolo II\".
Condition: Excellent pre-owned vintage condition. The metallic components hold a gorgeous light patina, the wooden crucifix inlay is completely flush and secure, and the rose petal beads are perfectly structurally intact. The case functions flawlessly and snaps shut firmly. The white case requires a light cleaning which I\'ll leave for you. Please see photos for detailed visual confirmation.
