This antique rosary is one of the most unusual ones I have ever had.. .  One of the most interesting parts of this rosary is the little bubble beads made of lucite that were once filled with healing holy water. Each of the Ave beads has a tiny blue Mary inside, while the Pater beads usually have the Sacred Heart of Jesus inside. very popular souvenir from the holy apparition site of Our Lady of Lourdes during the 50s.... The beads are clouded from the sediment. Please look closely at the pictures.  +  The Hail Mary beads are 7 mm wide, flat and have a tiny blue Virgin Mary figure in them. The Our Father beads are 9mm heart shaped and have a tiny blue Sacred Heart figure in them. The center medal is a blue enameled Lourdes Apparition  of Mary and bernadette in the grottoe at lourdes  and  reads on the back, nossa senhora do rosario 1917 terra fatima. There is also a tag that reads  Legatura Alpacca brevetto Italy 585850.   The Crucifix is really detailed and beautiful and has tiny blue roses, JHS and thorns in it.
