Anglican Rosary – Moss Agate Prayer Beads – Carndonagh Celtic Cross

"Prayer beads create rhythm in our silence, space in our restlessness, and structure in our seeking."
— Rev. Kristen E. Vincent
 
This Anglican rosary is handmade in Scotland and features 8mm moss agate beads—each one a miniature landscape of earthy greens and misty inclusions, like forest light seen through stone. Moss agate has long been cherished as a symbol of growth, grounding, and deep peace, making it a meaningful choice for contemplative prayer.
 
The metalwork is crafted in durable stainless steel and plated in sterling silver 925, offering both strength and elegance. The cross is a detailed replica of the 7th-century high cross at Carndonagh in County Donegal, Ireland—one of the oldest and most iconic Celtic crosses in existence. Its carved interlace and ringed structure evoke the eternal nature of God and the unity of the Christian tradition across centuries.
 
This rosary follows the Anglican format: four groups of seven beads, known as weeks, separated by cruciform beads. It provides a quiet, meditative structure for prayer—welcoming to all traditions, and especially beloved in Celtic spirituality.
 
A sacred tool for stillness, reflection, and connection, this moss agate rosary is not only a piece of devotion but a link to the beauty of ancient craftsmanship and the enduring call to prayer. Ideal for personal use or as a spiritual gift rooted in tradition.
