<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 134218, member: 23"]Growing up Catholic, everyone in my family had Rosaries, medals, scapulas, etc. etc. My mother, the youngest of five, inherited her siblings stuff and I ended up with it all. The local Catholic church has a thrift so I donated a lot to them and I sold some. I find it unlikely that a nun used this Rosary as it is. Those who take orders use very plain Rosaries as this would have been prior to the addition of the medals. The other possibility is that she went on pilgrimages to churches or places represented by the medals. I still find it hard to believe she would have been allowed to keep something like this. There were nuns and priests in my mother's generation and their Rosaries were plain black wood with plain Crucifixes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
