Rosary - Gold plated

A devotional object, but above all a personal testament tied to Pope Benedict XVI. This rosary was personally donated by Pope Benedict XVI (Joseph Ratzinger) and received directly from the Pontiff's hands. It is precisely this direct passage that gives it a particular meaning. Made with elegant beads decorated in olive wood and silver-plated metal parts, it features the crucifix with Christ and the central medal with pontifical symbolism. The original blue case is also kept, enhanced by the coat of arms of Pope Benedict XVI, an important element that completes and enhances the whole. For those who have followed and loved the figure of Joseph Ratzinger, owning a rosary that was in Benedict XVI’s hands before being personally handed over means preserving something that goes beyond the simple religious object: a tangible memory of a pontificate and a moment of encounter. The rosary and the case show normal signs of wear, visible in the photographs.
