“Fear the Day of Judgment: be in dread of hell. Ardently desire everlasting life with deep spiritual longing. Keep death daily before your eyes (Rule Of Benedict 4: 44-47).”
“Memento Mori” translates from the Latin to “Remember that you shall die”. It reminds you of the rite you hear when ashes are smudged in a cross upon your forehead for Ash Wednesday: “Remember Man that thou are dust and unto dust thou shall return." Skull rosaries date back to the late middle ages!
Prayer: Dear merciful God, thank you for loving me and showing me mercy when I did not deserve your favor. Please continue to awaken, reawaken, and constantly awaken within me a deep desire for the things above where Christ is seated with the Father. In gratitude I rejoice that the sting of death has lost its power in Christ Jesus, our Lord. Amen.

Customers praised this durable paracord rosary as "very well made" with "high quality" craftsmanship. The skull beads provide a "masculine" aesthetic and meaningful reminder. Most loved the "rugged" construction and comfortable weight. Some wished skull beads were larger or beads were heavier. Excellent for daily use and gifts.
They’re beautiful and indestructible
Well made, and of sufficient size for a rosary that will see some use. I find rugged rosaries are MUCH more durable than all of the alternatives.
Another hit thanks to Rugged Rosaries. I’m going to have to quit shopping here; it’s becoming a problem :). In all seriousness, it’s a lovely rosary, simple and effective. I really dig the black and silver. Thank you again for all you do, representatives of faith and the business of Rugged Rosaries. God bless.
I would prefer that the beads be smaller.
The rosary is an amazing design and I like the skulls which gives it a masculine look. I purchased the optional St. Pio medal to add to the rosary and makes such a powerful spiritual statement. The rosary is slightly smaller than the traditional paracord rosaries which is great because it easily fits in my rugged rosary zip pouch. I highly recommend.
I love my new Rosary! It's so unique and fits me perfectly. It is very well made and will serve me for years to come. Shipping was faster than expected as well.
Beautiful rosary. I have come to know RR have great products.
Hohe Qualität, gutes Design und Lieferung war auch in Ordnung. Ich habe die Kette zwar erst seit ca. 6 Wochen, aber ich bin sehr Zufrieden mit dem Produkt. Sie hilft mir ungemein beim täglichen Beten, auch wenn ich den Rosenkranz noch nicht 100% ohne Hilfe beten kann, arbeite ich weiterhin beständig daran.
Also nur zu Empfehlen.
These Rosaries are amazing. It feels so good in your hand. The weight balance is perfect. You feel the balance of each bead as your pray. Going to purchase a few more. as gifts.
I found a Rosary that spoke to me. I’m learning more about my faith and how to pray and I’m appreciative of Rugged Rosaries for this design. Thank you.
I couldn’t be happier with my purchase! These rosaries are built to last—crafted with tough paracord and solid, high-quality metal that can stand up to anything. Whether you’re out camping, serving in law enforcement or the military, or pushing limits in extreme sports, this rosary is perfect. It’s not only durable but also beautifully made, with a weight and feel that give it real quality. You can tell the makers put pride and craftsmanship into every detail. Finally, a rosary that’s as strong and resilient as the people who carry it. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a faith piece they can truly rely on in any situation!
This Momento Mori rosarie is a work of art!! Heavy duty feeling and I love the gunmetal finish on everything!! I made some alterations to the design and the customer service was great, big thanks to the Rugged Rosaries team! I’ll be back for more!
Great for wearing everyday. Regularly receive compliments from random strangers. Obviously great for praying full rosaries daily. 20 mystery’s everyday. This is my 7th order and will order again to give away.
Purchased two rosaries, one for my work backpack and one for my gym bag. Both will take a bit of a beating, so these are perfect.
I am new to the faith, and I'm so happy to have this with me! I try to have it with me every day.
Well made, handsome and rugged material. I was surprised by how big it was. This paracord really stands out and matches all my casual summer chlothes. Customer service are on point
Excellent size and construction. Well worth it.
St. Benedict exhorts us: “Keep death daily before your eyes, I spend most Thursday's at the cemetery, preparing my homily and contemplating my death. My
Memento Mori rosary is with me every trip, it is rugged enough to handle whatever I encounter and is never out of place. The red & black cord is my choice as it represents death and the blood of Jesus to me. The pardon crucifix is a added bonus. RR is just that RUGGED, beautiful and a blessed sacramental. We are all in line we just don't know who will be called next. Pray for us St. Benedict
I fell in love with the momento mori rosary I wanted a pocket rosary to match it. So I ordered both. I used the Saint Michael pocket as a template. Matching cord, and replacing the gold need for a skull like on the bigger one.
Very high quality, I feel so blessed to have a rosary like this. I have carried this rosary almost everyday since it arrived! Praise the Lord for a rosary my kids can't break!
This is my second rosarie and the quality is amazing. These rosaries are second to none. I will be buying more soon. Definitely recommend!
