About Saint Florian Rosary
The Saint Florian Rosary is a deluxe rosary from one of three officially-licensed purveyors to the Vatican.Saint FlorianSaint Florian lived in the time of the Roman emperors Diocletian and Maximian, and was commander of the imperial army in the Roman province of Noricum. In addition to his military duties, he was also responsible for organizing firefighting brigades. He is the patron saint of firefighters. The Roman regime sought to eradicate Christianity, and sent Aquilinus to persecute Christians. When Aquilinus ordered Florian to offer sacrifice to the pagan Roman gods in accordance with Roman religion, Florian refused and cheerfully accepted beatings from the soldiers, who used clubs, spikes and fire to torture him. He was executed by drowning in the Enns River. His memorial is celebrated on May 4.A Traditional Catholic DevotionThe Rosary, derived from the Latin word, rosarium, meaning "rose garden," is a popular and traditional Catholic devotion. Prayer beads are used to count the series of prayers that make up the rosary. The prayers consist of repeated sequences of the Lord's Prayer, followed by ten prayings of the Hail Mary, and a single praying of Gloria Patri, or "Glory Be to the Father." The Rosary is also sometimes accompanied by the Fatima Prayer. Each of these prayer sequences is known as a decade. The praying of each decade is accompanied by meditation on one of the "Mysteries of the Rosary," which recall the life of Jesus Christ.Approximate Product Dimensions:Width: 12.00"Meaningful CraftsmanshipEvery Saint Florian Rosary is meticulously handcrafted by artisans, ensuring high quality and attention to detail.
