It’s a single-decade, handmade Irish rosary with Connemara marble beads. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one decade design dates back to the Penal times in Ireland when it was forbidden to practice the Catholic faith in Ireland. The British crown wanted to wipe out Irish Catholics and Irishness. They failed. Because we stuck together and found ways to keep the faith in secret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“An Paidrin Beag” is also what this rosary is known as. It  translates from the Irish language to “Little Rosary”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Aidan, owner at Gifts of Ireland says: ‘ To appreciate the meaning behind this doesn’t really matter how religious you are, doesn’t matter how many times you go to Mass, because when you hold this in your hand, you are connecting with the strength of the Irish, the blood. It is a connection to the resilient Irish that pulled together to get through tough times. This is history in your hand. The pride of The Irish.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis suppression only served to increase the faith of the Irish people. Priests lived in hiding and Mass was celebrated on the open hillsides. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople found more and more ways of continuing their devotions without being detected. “An Paidrin Beag” is one result of the people’s determined ingenuity. Hidden undetected in the folds of a skirt or trouser the little rosary made the perfect solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy you’ll love it:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e💚 The marble is a piece of Ireland, The design of the one decade is a memory of the resilient Irish gone before us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e💚 Crafted with genuine Connemara Marble hand lifted from the quarry in Connemara Co.
