A wooden Lourdes rosary with metal roses and a blue enamelled medal

The metal rosary beads in the shape of roses mark the different decades and emphasise the Marian dimension of this rosary. Its centre features a blue enamelled medal depicting the Apparition of Lourdes. On the reverse are a few drops of Lourdes Water, a tangible reminder of the sanctuary and the spring discovered by Bernadette at the Grotto of Massabielle.
