I purchased this rosary when I was in Medjugorje. It is made from the stones around the Bosnian village. The crucifix has the name of the village as well as Mary's words "Mir. Mir. Mir." (Peace. Peace. Peace.)For the photo I hung the rosary on a picture I purchased at a Mejugorje conference at Notre Dame last May. It is a photo of the statue made of Mary to the descriptions of the six visionaries. Her eyes seem to follow as you move around the room. The beads really grab tactile attention as I pray because they are rough and very oddly shaped. It is a wonderful way to nudge my memories of my time there. These rocks are visible all over the area. I spent a week there in 2007 after a visit to the Holy Land with a Peace group.This June it will be 30 years since the first apparition.I am attending another Medjugorje conference at Notre Dame in a few weeks.
