Our Lady of the Rosary - Wonder

Comes on 33in 4.3mm Sterling Silver Cable Chain

An antique chaplet or finger rosary serves as the centerpiece for the Wonder medallion. The finger rosary, a prayerful mediation, originates from the rosary, a Scriptural meditation based on prayers such as the Hail Mary, the dialogue between Mary and the angel Gabriel, and the Our Father, the prayer given to the disciples by Christ when asked how to pray.
These repetitive prayers silently or vocally said, alone or with others, offer a deeper meditative communion with God. The rosary, Latin for “rose garden”, also offers contemplation and wonder of the profound mysteries of Jesus and Mary’s life. The European antique finger rosary, with its 10 balls represents a decade of prayer, serving secretly praying soldiers in World War I or politically oppressed Catholics in Ireland. Prayer beads, founded by the ancient Hindus and common in many religions help facilitate prayer by allowing the beads to count repetitive prayer.

Patron of Contemplative - Faith

Much mystery and romance shroud the legend of Mary Magdalene, overshadowing her very significant role as a witness to the central events in the Christian faith. According to some accounts, Mary Magdalene appears as a noble and wealthy Jewish woman from Magdala in Galilee and sister of Martha and Lazarus. She lives a highly extravagant life before converting to the teachings of Jesus Christ, who helps dispel both her vanity and pride. Beautiful and proud she wept at the feet of Jesus, anointing Him with expensive perfume from an alabaster box of ointment, washing his feet with her tears and drying them with her long beautiful hair. Viewed by some as the Apostle’s Apostle, she was the first to witness the Resurrection of Christ, after coming to the tomb to anoint Jesus’ dead body with sweet spices. Under direction from Jesus, she spreads the word to the other apostles. As a deeply faithful disciple, she perseveres, when other male disciples abandon Christ, by leading the group of women who witness the Crucifixion, burial, empty tomb and Resurrection. In addition to witness, she also serves as preacher, healer and contemplative. 14 years after the Crucifixion she arrives by boat to the shores of Gaul, now France, where she evangelizes the region before retiring to a grotto in the St. Baume mountain range, to live a life of solitary contemplation for 30 years.

The cross is a symbol that appears in ancient art and at times carries sacred meaning within cultures, even prior to the crucifixion of Christ. Adopted as a symbol by early Christians based on Christ's crucifixion, the cross today, evokes passionate meaning of both suffering and salvation, fusing the human and the Divine. Today, the cross is synonymous with Christianity. While a cross which carries the Copus of Christ may emphasize we are not alone in our suffering, the unadorned cross often connotes Resurrection and Salvation. The Universal and powerful cross is reinterpreted throughout the Brother Wolf Collection in many meaningful renderings such as this Jerusalem Cross. It expresses its own Personal devotion of the one who wears the cross.

Patron of Mothers

Mary, as the mother of God, specifically, Jesus, holds a highly venerated position in Faith. Her purity as symbolized in the absence of original sin elevates her importance in salvation and the angel Gabriel in the bible, addresses her as “Hail, full of grace”. Mary’s other title as Queen, as Jesus is referred to as King, implies she is our spiritual mother, nurturing our spiritual life of grace throughout our lifetime. Her role in the miracles of Christ’s life is well documented in the Bible and the many events of her life are celebrated as miracles as well. We honor her Grace with a unique French vintage nouveau interpretation while celebrating mothers.

 Patron of The Sick - Hope

150 years ago, young St. Bernadette, just 14 years old, witnessed the appearance of Mary, the Immaculate Conception, eighteen times in five months near a cave in a small mountainous town in Southern France named Lourdes. Bernadette’s extraordinary faith compelled her to obey the instruction of Mary to drink from a nonexistent fountain in the grotto. She scratched in the dry gravel and healing waters began to flow. Today, the healing waters attract hundreds of thousands of visitors from all faiths in search of physical, emotional and spiritual hope. In the Sanctus Collection, the Lady of Lourdes medal captures Mary in stunning portrait on the front and young St. Bernadette kneeling at the grotto in Lourdes on the back in vivid detail, commemorating the 150 year anniversary of the miracle.

Faith, Hope and Charity

Faith, Hope and Charity, daughters of Sophia whose name means Wisdom, died as virgin martyrs in the 2nd century AD at a very young age during the Roman rule of Hadrian in the 2nd century. Oftentimes, mystical virtues became names at Baptism as in the case of 12 year old Faith, 10 year old Hope and 9 year old Charity.
The New Testament endorses strongly these three virtues and Charity is often called love. Church feast days celebrate these virtues and the saints martyrdom on August 1st (Roman) and September 17th (Eastern), while specifics vary on the saints celebrated.
The Sanctus Collection commemorates these virtues with simple yet beautiful vintage symbols of the cross, anchor and the Sacred Heart, universally communicating the sublime meaning of Faith, Hope and Charity.
