Christina’s butterfly Rosary

From an early age Christina was referred to by family and friends as their “little butterfly.”  This handmade rosary is inspired by this nickname and Christina’s favorite colors — purple and blue.  It has 10mm dark purple wooden beads connected with six transparent aqua butterflies and spacers in pearl and silver.  The centerpiece medallion has Our Lady of Guadalupe on one side (in recognition of Christina’s cancer diagnosis, which occurred on the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe) and Christina’s favorite photo of herself on the other side.  The 5cm silver-plated San Damiano crucifix has three bells resting above it which represent the Holy Trinity.
