Description: St Kevin of GlendaloughSingle Decade Rosary This chaplet has a brand new 7/8" nickel silver medal with an updated image of this favorite Irish saint holding a book. The 1-1/2" gold-toned St Benedict Crucifix, like the medal, was made in Italy; the chaplet itself was designed and handmade by me in the USA.All eleven beads are 8 mm in size. The single Our Father bead is genuine Dogtooth Amethyst, which has quartz inclusions which lighten the color of the gemstone. The ten Hail Mary beads are fire-polished Czech glass in two kinds of green: faceted emerald green alternating with crackle glass beads in a lighter grass green. Chaplet is about 9-1/2" long and comes gift boxed and with the following:Carry PouchHow to Pray the Rosary pamphletHow to Pray the Divine Mercy cardThe 15 Promises of Mary cardSt Kevin prayer cardSt Benedict prayer carda gift bag and tissue paper, so your medal comes all ready to give as a gift. St Kevin is the patron saint of blackbirds, as well as being considered a protector of all animals, probably because of the many animal stories associated with him. As a hermit monk who lived in a remote cave in Glendalough, Ireland, during the 7th century, he would have been in contact with many wild animals and would have had a mystical affinity with them as part of the Lord's creation. That's what is so great about this saint, all these stories and legends! One of them concerns St Kevin holding his arms out in prayer, when a blackbird landed on one of his hands, built a nest, and laid an egg. The kindly saint stayed just the way he was until the egg was hatched and the baby bird was able to fly away! Another story is that St Kevin lived to age 120.St Kevin is a great role model for today's youth, especially young men who might be considering a religious life; St Kevin is also asked for help with great challenges or seemingly impossible dreams, too - as his life illustrates that anything is possible with God.
