✝  SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE ✝  :

 ⚜ 7 Joys of Mary Franciscan Crown - This unique 7 decade rosary honors the Seven Joys of the Blessed Virgin Mary through Franciscan tradition: the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Nativity of Jesus, the Adoration of the Magi, the Finding of Jesus in the Temple, the Resurrection of Jesus, and the Assumption and Coronation of Mary. Each decade with 10 Hail Marys plus 2 additional Hail Marys (totaling 72) represents years of Mary's life, creating 81 total beads. This devotion originated with the Franciscan Order and celebrates Mary's participation in the joy of salvation history.

⚜ Miraculous Mary - The 1830 apparition to St. Catherine Labouré in Paris where Mary appeared with rays streaming from her hands, representing Mary as channel of God's graces associated with countless conversions and healings.

⚜ Sacred Heart of Jesus - The infinite love of Christ for humanity revealed through His pierced Heart, inviting souls to contemplate Divine Mercy and receive abundant graces symbolized by the flaming heart surrounded by thorns.

⚜ Coronation of Mary - Mary crowned as Queen of Heaven and Earth, representing the culmination of the Seven Joys and the final glorious mystery of the rosary. This depicts Mary's exaltation as Queen Mother and her eternal reign alongside her Divine Son, fulfilling God's promise to elevate the humble.

⚜ Franciscan Crucifix - The distinctive Franciscan cross often featuring the Tau cross design associated with St. Francis of Assisi, representing Franciscan devotion to the Passion of Christ, simplicity, humility, and total surrender to God's will as exemplified by St. Francis who received the stigmata.

⚜ Blue Jade with serene blue tones evokes the heavenly realm where Mary reigns as Queen and calls to mind the peace and joy that marked Mary's life of trust in God's providence in Catholic devotional tradition.

⚜ Red Brecciated Jasper with fragmented red patterns unified in stone evokes the seven joys woven throughout Mary's life and calls to mind both the joy and sorrow that marked her journey as Mother of God.

This devotional Franciscan Crown connects the ancient Franciscan tradition of meditating on Mary's seven great joys with her glorious Coronation and Sacred Heart devotion.
