John the forerunner was the cousin of Jesus and the last of the prophets. We recognize him, in this rosary, by the color and use of the beads. The color is honey as was his food. We go one step further as we see the Paters, with their black markings, as a combination of locusts and honey.
Czech glass Aves are joined by glowing yellow Bavarian glass which symbolizes the radiance surrounding Jesus as the Heavens opened. Murano glass Paters are flanked with black glass which is intended, once again, to remind us of the locusts or, perhaps, the annoyances in our own lives which are given to lead us to prayer which will bring us to a new beginning. Completed in bronze, with a dove center which calls us to the Holy Spirit and a thistle crucifix representing John’s wilderness, this limited edition rosary measures 23”.

Now John himself was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey
Matthew 3:4
Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?” But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him. When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Matthew 3:13-20
