<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LighsUp, post: 3656781, member: 18681&quot;]That makes a lot of sense! My thoughts exactly...</p><p>Unfortunately, my knowledge of Catholic traditions and prayers is minimal. My upbringing was secular, and my interest in religions arose at a later age. As for Catholicism, I started reading about it only when I started collecting rosaries, five years ago. This hobby had opened many new worlds: art - motives and streams, theology and symbology, Catholic literature, etc. I even learned about materials that I never heard of before, such as Bois Durci. Every new rosary or chaplet must be dated and classified. So far I did rather well, but for this one, which remains a complete mystery. </p><p>The crucifix, too, which I believe to be the original one, is unusual as well: it shows the crucified Jesus on one side, and Maria and baby Jesus on the other side. This is the first - and only - time I&#039;ve seen this motive on this type of crucifix. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]309030[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]309031[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
