Product Details

Our Saint Rita Rosary is created with pink wonder beads to signify roses with a beautiful color enamel picture of Saint Rita for the center. Saint Rita (1381 ? May 22, 1457), a pre-eminent Augustinian saint was born at Roccaporena near Cascia in the Diocese of Spoleto, Italy. She was wife to a rich man named Alessandro, mother of twin boys named James Anthony and Paul Maria, and after the murder of her husband and the death her two sons, she spent 40 years as a nun living to the The Augustinian Rule in the monastery of Saint Mary Magdalen at Cascia. In the parish church of Laarne, near Ghent, there is a statue of Saint Rita in which several bees feature. This seems to arise from the story that, on the day after her baptism, a swarm of white bees was seen around the baby as she was asleep in her crib. They peacefully went in and out of her mouth, not injuring her in any way. Her family seems to have been mystified rather than alarmed. Later, and in retrospect, the bees were seen as representing her subsequent beatification by Pope Urban VIII. Her feast day is May 22 and her attributes are a crown of thorns, roses, and bees She is the Patron Saint of sickness, wounds, marriage problems, lost and impossible causes, abuse, and mothers.
