By the grace of God, I make Rosaries.

People who know me are sometimes puzzled by this and want to know....why?

 

The answer is pretty simple--I believe in the power of prayer, and praying the Rosary is a powerful way to focus on my prayer intentions, to reflect on the life of Jesus, to contemplate the Word of God, and to honor the Blessed Mother!

 

I am also a lover of beauty--the beauty of God's creation, the beauty of God's Word, the beauty of His plan of salvation, and the beauty of artistic creations that spring forth from human beings by God's grace. I derive great joy from creating beautiful Rosaries, and my joy is multiplied when I can share them.

Creating Rosaries

I began making Rosaries in order to give them away--I give them to church groups, who then distribute them to people in nursing homes, hospitals, and anywhere else someone may need or want one.

​

I very quickly discovered that creating Rosaries was itself a prayerful process for me, and it satisfied deeply my inherent creativity. I found myself wanting to create Rosaries that exemplified specific ideas, such as the Body of Christ, or that celebrated the sacramental life of the Church, such as baptism, confirmation, and holy matrimony. I wanted to use finer materials for these expressions, and offer them at a reasonable price to those who might find beauty and inspiration in them.

 

Mostly, I want to encourage people to pray more! And if a beautiful Rosary will inspire more and more profound prayer, then what better way to do it?

 

The Mission

I have not and will not stop giving Rosaries away! Sales generated on this site will no doubt be modest, but they will help to offset expenses for the Rosaries I give away, while also allowing me to glorify God by expressing the creative gifts He has given me. If you desire a Rosary and cannot afford one of the Rosaries offered here, please simply inquire at stellamarisbymelissa@gmail.com, and I will be happy to provide you with a Rosary at little to no cost to you.
