Irish Penal Pocket Rosary

Our Irish Penal Pocket Rosary is a very convenient and easy to carry straight line single decade rosary. It is fashioned like the Penal Rosaries used in Ireland prior to the 1700s when the church was being persecuted. It was easily hidden up a sleeve or in clothing.

To use this rosary, the ring is placed on the thumb and moved to each finger each time a decade of the rosary is prayed until completion of all 5 decades. The crucifix on this rosary is an Irish design full of symbolism on both the front and back such as the crown of thorns, the ladder used to remove Christ from the cross, the spear, the 5 wounds, and the chalice from the last supper.

By the way, a kind customer, Luigi, suggests that the bottom symbol represents the SPONGE that was soaked with soar wine hyssop and given to Our Lord Jesus, before he breathed his last

We always use genuine military grade paracord, never gutted. Each rosary is shipped with a drawstring carry pouch. Thank you for shopping.

Great Rosary

First rosary that I have ever bought for myself, no question would buy again or recommend to anyone looking for a travel-sized rosary. It is the perfect size to carry around in your pocket or a backpack, and the quality is great. It comes in a drawstring cloth bag which is awesome as well.

Better than a regular rosary!

I'm always on the go, and absent-minded, so I frequently space out while praying my rosary and forget which decade I'm on. This rosary solves that problem! Thank you very much for offering this well-made and extremely useful product.

Custom Pocket Rosary

I asked and RR delivered a custom pocket rosary. It turned out beautiful; I’m so pleased.

Received my order of two Pocket Rosaries very quickly. The Irish Penal Rosaries are really nice, and well-made. Thanks also for the Appreciation Gifts, a Finger Rosary and a Scapular.

I have purchased twice now from Rugged Rosary and am sure that I will but again.
