This came across on another list, and I thought it was worth a chuckle. http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2008-03-16-rosaries-gangs_N.htm?csp=34 Who'd have...
One of the problems not addressed in the article is the sheer number of undocumented immigrants that have flooded into Western Oregon the last decade. It's...
... Actually, I have found so far 1 painting that clearly has a rosary with a crucifix on from before 1600. It is by Rogier van der Weyden. It is the "donor ...
Okay, here is another "oddity" I've found. I've seen quite a number of painted depictions of prayer beads by now, but I've never seen one with beads so large. ...
... D'oh! <hits self on forehead> You know, I've had that painting (Philippe de Croy) in my files for several years and, would you believe, never noticed...
WHICH ONE !! - we've had several pics posted ... *blink* Is that a Cross of Lorraine on the end?!? (lying on the painting's "sill") -Carowyn, squinting at her...
blink blink if it's the Nicolas Froment (1425-1486) Matheron Diptych Oil on wood, 1474 it looks like it's another rosary, WITH a Cross of Lorraine check out...
Greetings again! I'm also squiinting at the van der Weyden rosary with the crucifix. Chris, you said in your blog that the beads may be pearls: I'm squinting...
I think the cross is a Flory too and I know just where I can get one did you notice the 3 bead sequence it's too regular in what's visable to not be on...
... Yeah, sorry, that's the one I meant - sorry, I had meant to put which one I was referring to in my email, and deleted the info...doing this from work,...
yes , but , those are chemical dyes not used untill recently so if you are going for a truly historical reproduction you can't use them - however I will be...
Greetings! ... Oh, I know - but if ya got 'em, use 'em! Pysanky dyes only last a year (well, according to the package), and I know I forget about them as soon...
I've seen various paintings with large bead rosaries in them - my supposition has been that the men used such large pieces because they have larger hands and...
... If I may venture another overly broad generalization <grin>, the impression I get is that rosaries in medieval and Renaissance paintings, and also the...
Greetings! ... My first thought, looking at the painting, was "ooh, that outfit looks like the one on the famous Martin Luther portrait" - then, like a dope, I...
... Ooh, now see, this idea makes sense to me - some of the sumptuary laws I've managed to glance at (I have some research on them, but haven't sat down to...
Don't suppose one of you could link these again? I can't find the original email now and I want to look!! :¬D Emy x ... [Non-text portions of this message...

It's been a bit quiet here, lately. I decided to post a query about the Seven Sorrows Chaplet that was discussed here a couple of months ago, and discussed by...
Kristine, I think any self respecting monk or nun of the 1450's would be proud to own that paternoster, It's great. You seem to have the tassel thing down. If...
... Nice job! Tassels are actually quite common on the ends of paternosters in period paintings, though from the very little documentary evidence I've seen,...
... I certainly agree that these beads would probably survive a trip through a time machine just fine, and would probably prompt the thought "Hey, nice beads!"...
Greetings, ... In my local group, we have a *lot* of people who make their own garb, and they've done a lot of research on the subject. One does early English...
This is beautiful!! Where did you find the silver beads? :) An On Mon, Apr 21, 2008 at 10:07 PM, kristinejohanek ... -- Anpliça Fiore Keythong & Ministraro...
Carowyn ... On clothing, though? <puzzled look> I've certainly seen wool embroidery on linen for the Bayeux Tapestry, but everyone I know who does Bayeux-style...
Hi again - I now have caffeine in me.... ... Let me ask - there was a dig somewhere where there was just enough wool left under the metal clasp to see it was...
