Product information
  • Attractive Irish Penal Rosary 
  • Connemara cubed beads, silver accents
  • Finely detailed Celtic cross
  • Gift of Irish faith and heritage
  • Gift of prayer & symbolic perseverance
The Irish Penal Rosary, also known as "An Paidrin Beag" (meaning "The Little Rosary" in Irish), holds a profound historical and spiritual significance.

 During Ireland's Penal Period, when practicing the Catholic faith was forbidden, this single-decade rosary was a discreet way for the faithful to pray the Rosary in secret, avoiding persecution by placing the ring on the thumb and hiding the rest of the rosary underneath one's sleeve.

 To pay tribute to the faith of the Irish, each bead here is crafted from genuine Connemara Marble, a rare and beautiful stone found only in the West of Ireland. This is an exceptional gift to celebrate Irish faith and heritage and a uniquely historic rosary that speaks to the perseverance of the Irish people.

Very lovely rosary. Perfect size

"Very lovely rosary. Perfect size for keeping in my pocket for quick prayer when needed. Would highly recommend."

— HOLLY H. (5/5)

Love my Irish tenner rosary!

"The rosary is beautiful. The connemara marble pieces have different shades of green so it is not exactly the same as the one illustrated. The pieces are tightly attached to a strong wire. Happy to have in my hands a little piece of the land of my ancestors"

My rosary

"I love this little rosary. It is so convenient to carry while walking and praying . My brother bought me one fro Ireland which I lost so I was so happy to find this duplicate"

— Mary N. (5/5)

Connemara Rosary

"Like this rosary, but wish there was less variation between the stones, Also rounded stones would be more comfortable."

— Linda (3/5)

Just what I was looking for.

"I bought this as a Christmas gift for my younger brother. He was delighted with it, and I like it too. The cross is not made of an expensive metal--I think it's really just silver oxidized metal--but it's fine for its use, and I like the masculine appeal of this rosary, since it was gifted to a young man."

— Genevieve (5/5)

Irish Penal Rosary

"The rosary is not only very well made, but beautiful in the connemara marble ""beads"". It will fit my needs very well as it should not tangle in my hands while driving like regular beads sometimes did. The construction is very sturdy and attractive! My Pastor, Father Greg, was very impressed when he blessed it for me."

— Laurene R. (5/5)

With me 30+ years.

"My original was bought in Ireland. Many have been bought and given as gifts ever since."
