Alan Creech makes these beautiful, Franciscan-inspired, single-decade rosaries using natural materials with satisfying textures.
If, like me, you not only have a San Damiano crucifix on your front door and a relic of Saint Francis in your living room, but are also a tactile person whose attention at prayer is enhanced by the feel of the beads in your fingers, then perhaps you need to have a look at these. Better yet, order one.
Even better, order me one.
