The Our Father beads are slightly larger to aid your meditative prayer. The beads glide smoothly through your fingers.【SIZE】The overall length of these rosaries is 21 inches. They can be worn, but also bunch up nicely to carry in your pocket as these beads don’t kink, or tangle up, like ordinary jewelry style rosaries. The beautiful Byzantine Orthodox crucifix is of the highest quality and has great detail and is 2.25 inches tall. The Heart/Cross Center Medal is 1 inch.【GIFT PACKAGE】This strong and durable rosary makes a thoughtful and meaningful gift for years to come. It is packaged in a Rugged Rosaries round box which is great for gift giving and storage.【BRAND】Rugged Rosaries is your trusted source for Roman Catholic gear since 2012.
