Description: St TarcisiusSingle Decade RosaryBeautiful pocket rosary with a 7/8" nickel silver medal with a great image of St Tarcisius, a young man, probably in his early teens, who was a martyr for the Holy Eucharist and is the patron saint of girls and boys making their First Communion as well as altar servers. The saint is shown clutching the Eucharist to his chest and holding a palm to denote his martyrdom. On the back are the words "Pray for Us" with a beautiful symbol of the Blessed Sacrament: the pierced Heart of Jesus surrounded by thorns with a cross and flames on top. The 1-1/2" silver-toned crucifix and the medal were made in Italy; the chaplet itself was designed and handmade by me in our home in the USA. The eleven beads are all 8 mm. The Our Father is a faux pearl and the ten Hail Mary beads are genuine Czech glass, faceted and fire-polished, in a ruby/crystal bi-color that beautifully symbolizes the Holy Eucharist and Divine Mercy.About 10" long, comes gift-boxed and with the following:a gift bag, tissue paperSt Tarcisius prayer card Blessed Sacrament prayer cardRosary PamphletDivine Mercy cardcarry pouch15 Promises of Mary cardSt Tarcisius lived in the 3rd century AD and although he was only a teen, may have been a deacon and probably served at the early Christian Mass held in the Catacombs of Rome. He was carrying some consecrated Hosts to the sick when he was accosted by some youths and older people who were non-believers. They wanted what the boy was carrying so carefully, and when he refused to give it up, he was beaten to death. St Tarcisius is the patron saint of First Communicants, and altar servers. The prayer cards which come with our rosaries, medals and pictures are home-made, created using a "greeting card" program on a computer and printed in full color on nice quality paper. Although they are not like the usual smaller professionally printed prayer cards, most of our customers prefer them since they are like a pamphlet with 4 "pages" and several images, prayers, patronages and often other information about the saint or Catholic devotion.
