Rosary Prayer Necklace 10mm Black Lava Rock Stone Bead Bronze Crucifix Catholic Untitled Document Details

The first beads were developed over 40,000 years ago were grooved pebbles, bones and teeth. They had talismanic and symbolic connotations from the beginning. For example, wearing an animal bone or tooth affirmed success in the hunt for food. Beads at this time also served as status symbols. Later in the evolution of human civilization, beads were used as currency.

Spiritual associations began with the ancient Egyptians, whose use of beads dates back to 3200 B.C. They were called \"Sha Sha\" which strongly implied the talismanic significance. \"Sha\" is the Egyptian word for luck. Beads were officially sanctioned as instruments for prayer and have been an important part of most spiritual traditions for centuries. Today, nearly two-thirds of the planet\'s population pray with beads.

This is a handmade traditional five-decade Catholic rosary bead necklace.
