My feeling about this old rosary is that it might have been a pilgrimage and personal rosary to the previous owner. Handmade carved mother of pearl crosses are most of the time associated with the Holy Land, to fulfill a promise to visit any of the ancient religious sites. One of the famous site in the Holy Land is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the site of which is said to be where our Lord Jesus was crucified. This rosary depicts the crucifixion of Jesus and my studies of rosaries points to the fact that these handmade carved shell items are made in the Holy Land, sometimes made in Palestine. This is an ideal rosary to become your personal rosary or your own pilgrimage rosary, it is perfect as a gift to a loved one. Antique and vintage rosaries are much more than simple beads and chains.
