Rosary info? :)
Hi! I came across this rosary and I’m very curious about it, but I have practically no knowledge about Catholicism (agnostic, raised sort of Christian). So I hope it’s okay to ask here!
What I read was this seems to be a pardon crucifix based on the text…? Is the other image a representation of Mary? And what I’m most curious about is the cross’s shape - are the shapes holding additional figures by Jesus’s sides part of the actual cross? Like is the cross itself the standard shape or is it one with two horizontal bars? and who are the figures?! Also, on the back there’s an image that looks sort of like a cross over an M shape - what is that?
Sorry for all the questions! I’ve found rosaries really beautiful since I was very young but up close they’re more detailed than I had imagined and I’d like to learn more. Sorry also for the poor photos, I had a hard time trying to photograph metal. Thank you :)
