*The San Damiano Cross represents Saint Francis and his followers, whom Our Lady has chosen in a special way to promote Her Cause.*
*The Miraculous Medal is both the weapon and shield that every Missionary of the Immaculate must make use of, as St. Maximilian used to say.*
*The blue beads represent the blue mantle of Our Lady, with which She covers those who fight for Her, to protect them from the attacks of the infernal serpent, as well as the habit of the Franciscans of the Immaculate and the Franciscan Tertiaries of the Immaculate.*
*The Optional Medals are those of the special Patrons of the FI: St. Francis, perfect image of Jesus Crucified, St. Clare, icon of the Mother of God, Saint Maximilian Mary Kolbe, martyr of charity and fool of love for the Immaculate, and St. Padre Pio, ardent lover of the Holy Rosary.*
"While on this earth, we must hold on to Our Lady with one hand, and work for Her with the other", St. Maximilian used to say. "When we hold Her Rosary, we are holding Our Lady’s hand and letting Her use us as Her docile instruments to conquer souls."
Thank You!
Customers praised this paracord rosary as "absolutely beautiful" and "extremely well made" with exceptional durability. The deep blue beads, San Damiano crucifix, and Miraculous Medal received high acclaim. Shoppers noted it's larger than standard rosaries but appreciated the substantial feel and comfort during prayer. Many purchased multiple as gifts.
I love this rosary. I believe Mary loves it too. I didnt like the crucifix it was going to come with, I asked if they would swap it out. They did no problem! Thank you Rugged Rosary!
Very strong, very sturdy and very Beautiful!
Beautiful! I am taking 2 of the RR’s on my pilgrimage to El Camino de Santiago Compostela. I’m starting from Piemonte and walking all the way tonLisboa so I thought I would bring a back up just in case and as my Marian Devotional Rosary for 54 Day Novena to our Lady of the Rosary. Friday 8/14 is start for 10/7 Solemnity. I also have Trappist Rosary which is austere but beautiful as well! God bless ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS!
The Rosary is extremely well made and much more durable than I was expecting. It is visually stunning with vivid colors and a beautiful crucifix. I am extremely happy with the quality in addition to all of the other items in my order. This company goes above and beyond for their customers and I will be buying from them again.
Really beautiful rosary, I love the San Damiano cross. They did my simple customization perfectly and it turned out really really nice. Definitely won’t be my last rosary from Rugged.
I am completely in love with my new rugged rosary. It's just what I expected since I have a few rugged rosaries. The parachute cord rosaries are my favorite because they're so durable. Keep up the beautiful work. God bless you all!
Excellent rosary, a God send.
My rosary arrived exactly as described and it looks amazing. It feels incredibly durable, and I can tell it’s built to last for years. I was specifically looking for something similar to the unique version used by Franciscan friars, and this is definitely it. God bless!"
Beautiful Rosary with San Damiano crucifix and large translucent blue beads. Sturdy paracord construction perfect for frequent use and pocket storage. I receive many compliments on its atrractiveness.
The best Rosary ever!
This Rosary is big and heavy. Perfect for what I was looking for. I want to feel a Rosay when I'm wearing it and still be comfortable. It's beautiful blue beads and the 12th century San Damiano Crucifix is just absolutely beautiful. Love the Franciscan devotion to Mother Mary and to our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you and God Bless.
I bought two rosaries so far and been showing them to friends and they think they are beautiful and very well made.
The build quality is great. It is now my go to rosary for daily prayer.
This rosary is stunning! The beads are solid and the color is so rich. It is most certainly “rugged”! I don’t think this rosary will ever break. The crucifix is beautifully detailed as well. I’ve resumed praying a daily rosary with this in hand! Thanks so much for an amazing rosary and a wonderful buying experience!
Beautiful Rosary well made
My last rosary I broke praying in the pew after confession! It was time for something more durable and I knew I was home to finally get a rugged rosary. This rosary is robust and beautiful! I have a strong devotion to St Maximilian Kolbe, so this was a perfect rosary that should last me!
I always wanted a rosary with this crucifix. I love the blue tiger eye beads and there smoothness of the beads. I highly recommend this beautiful rosary.
This rosary is beautifully made. Rugged and elegant. It has a good weight and length to it. The deep blue beads really make this rosary stand out. High quality made rosary. I couldn’t be more happier with my purchase.
I recently received the Immaculate Mediatrix Rosary • Rosary of the Franciscans of the Immaculate from Rugged Rosaries, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the craftsmanship and quality. As a Secular Franciscan who values both tradition and durability in a rosary, this piece exceeded my expectations.
The beads have a natural, smooth finish that feels great in hand, making it easy to pray without distraction. The paracord construction ensures that this rosary is truly rugged, it feels like it can withstand daily use, travel, and even tough conditions without breaking or fraying.
The San Damiano crucifix is beautifully detailed and adds a meaningful Franciscan touch to the rosary. I also appreciate the St. Francis and Clare metals, which is a wonderful reminder of their simplicity and faith.
This rosary is perfect for anyone drawn to the spirituality of St. Francis and Clare or those looking for a strong, durable design that holds up over time. Whether for personal use or as a gift, I highly recommend it!
This stunning, blue rosary is a joy to hold and use. The beads are slightly larger than I am used to, but as others have said, this makes it easier to handle and stronger.
I live in Scotland, and my rosary arrived speedily and with no problems. Highly recommended.
I waited a month before reviewing my rosary because I wanted to see how I would enjoy it. It is MUCH larger than your standard rosary. I ordered it because I carry my rosary everywhere and sleep with it, and my more fragile rosaries kept breaking because of this. Well, if you are looking for a beautiful, durable way to keep track of your prayers, this rosary is for you. The crucifix and holy medal are so detailed. The double jump rings ensure that the medals and crucifix will not detach, even if the rosary is scrunched up in a work coat or in your back pocket. The beads have a soothing feel to them. I particularly like the silver Our Father beads. The Celtic knot above the crucifix and all the knots holding the beads in place are neatly and tightly made. I am SO GLAD I purchased this rosary. I will never need to buy another rosary again. Thank you for providing the faithful with quality handmade goods in an age of cheap factory items.
Pax et bonum! Ave Maria! This rosary is beautiful! As a Legion of Mary member, the blue beads capture the mantle of Momma Mary over her apostles, while the Miraculous Medal is tough enough to handle our hands through struggling times and tough enough to get the devil out the room! The San Damiano crucifix is the Icon of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and proclaims “repair my Church” as it once did for St. Francis. St. Padre Pio medal is a bonus for that Franciscan/Marian charism! The spiritual intentionality of this rosary is powerful as it is beautiful, but if you carry your weapon with you, this beauty is durable! I highly suggest it for guys who are little rough with their stuff like me. And the customer service from Rugged Rosaries, just like their products, was top shelf! They email you back quickly and they sent me a few gifts with purchase. I was filled with joy! Thank you Rugged Rosaries. May God bless your ministry.
