Getting ready for Easter

The cheerful yellow marbled glass on this 5 decade rosary is a bit unusual. Based on the construction, it appears to have been made during the first half of the 20th century. One of the things that makes this rosary so rare is that it is unusual to find a rosary dedicated to this Spanish pilgrimage site, Limpias. Limpias is a station on the road to Santiago de Compostella where many miracles have been said to have occurred involving a life sized figure of the crucified Jesus.

The rosary has a single medal on it that is a devotion to the "Precious Blood Relic" in Bruge, Belgium. Though these two sites are far away from each other, they are both similar in the types of miracles and apparitions that the faithful have claimed to have witnessed there.

And nothing says "Easter" like a bright yellow rosary.
