Bronze metallic purple round glass Week beads, faceted transparent gold glass spacer beads, faceted bronze-backed purple heart glass Cruciform beads, and a teardrop-shaped purple and orange agate pendant are featured on this 16.5 inch set of Anglican Prayer Beads. The back sides of the heart-shaped beads has a mirrored bronze coating, as shown in a few of the pictures. The pendant on this more subtle set of Protestant prayer beads is especially lovely in hand and when held up to the light.
Protestant (Anglican) Prayer Beads are similar to a Catholic Rosary, but for Protestants to use during prayer. Unlike the Catholic Rosary, which has a set pattern for its use, Protestant Prayer Beads may be used any way that feels right for you. The circlet of Prayer Beads has four sections containing seven medium-sized “week” beads. Each section is separated by a larger, “Cruciform” bead. The circle begins and ends at the tail, which contains another of the medium-sized beads (which may be used as a Resurrection/listening bead), an invitatory Cruciform bead, and a cross or other symbolic pendant.
Purchase of these prayer beads includes a velvet storage pouch and a 16-page “Anglican Prayer Beads” booklet by Kristi Lyn Glass containing pictures, history, symbolism, instructions, and nine sample prayers. Also included is a lifetime string-replacement guarantee: If your Prayer Beads become unstrung at any time, simply return all the beads to Kristi Lyn Glass, and she will restring them for free.
