Saint Francis Transitus Rosary | Silver Edition

GHIRELLI® PRESENTS THE WORLD’S FIRST ROSARY WITH THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGES An exclusive masterpiece created to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the Passing of Saint Francis. For centuries, the Rosary has been a guardian of prayer, art, and devotion. But there are moments when tradition meets the courage to evolve. And it is precisely there that Ghirelli® innovation is born. In 1995, Ghirelli® revolutionized the world of the Rosary for the very first time by introducing its iconic shaped images dedicated to Marian apparitions, saints, and the great subjects of faith, forever transforming a sector that until then had known almost exclusively oval or round centerpieces placed at the heart of the Rosary. Today, faithful to its creative identity and constant pursuit of beauty, Ghirelli® takes another step destined to leave its mark on the history of the Rosary. For the first time in the world, a Rosary with three-dimensional images is born. Not simple decorative details, but true sculpted works of art that bring depth, emotion, and presence, making the spiritual message even more vivid and engaging. An innovation that does not follow time — it anticipates it. Once again, Ghirelli® redefines the future of the Rosary. CRUCIFIX  The magnificent three-dimensional crucifix is inspired by the powerful masterpiece by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created between 1668 and 1669 and preserved in the Museum of Fine Arts of Seville.The Christ figure, sculpted with extraordinary expressive power, conveys all the drama and mercy of the Passion, transforming the crucifix into an artistic and spiritual presence of rare intensity. CENTERPIECE At the center of the Rosary emerges a stunning three-dimensional bas-relief depicting the Passing of Saint Francis, inspired by the 1886 fresco painted by artist Domenico Bruschi on the exterior wall of the Chapel of the Transitus in Assisi, the sacred place where the Poor Man of Assisi completed his earthly journey. The reverse side of the Centerpiece also features a discreet QR code leading to a special digital meditation dedicated to Saint Francis and his beloved “Simple Prayer,” presented in multiple languages to accompany personal reflection and prayer. This content was created to make the Rosary not simply an object to admire, but a true spiritual companion. Through its universal message of peace, fraternity, and love, the “Simple Prayer” becomes the most authentic expression of Franciscan spirituality. BEADS 6X8 mm oval beads alternated with 8 mm round beads, crafted from genuine Italian olivewood and entirely Made in Italy.
