Tau Pocket Rosary
6" Long (Approx.)
This 5 decade pocket rosary has a genuine olive wood Tau cross and is hand-assembled in Assisi. The rosary is made with an elastic cord so it can be worn on the wrist. It's the perfect size to carry in your pocket or in a purse.
The Tau is an ancient representation of the cross. It is also the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet and is thought to be the sign with which Ezekiel marked those chosen by God (Ex 9:4). St. Francis loved the meaning of the Tau so much he signed his letters with this symbol. When a Franciscan friar wears a habit and stands with his hands outstretched, he becomes a Tau, a living Tau. The Tau is recognized as a distinctive Franciscan symbol.
Made in Assisi.
