to have a hole in my knowledge regarding blue rosaries?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

I have just been told the significance of these.

Actually, I think I'm getting to the stage where nothing really shocks me anymore.

[jaded]

Ooooh , test my levels of jadedness and tell me the significance .
(dd making her first communion next week , you could poss save me from making some horrific faux pas !)

Tell me too.
My friend bought me a blue one from Lourdes.....

Just googled it and found nothing????

Another hole of knowledge here. And if google doesn't know, it's obviously a fairly big hole.

Tell us!

I don't know either

Tell tell, I had one years ago before I turned into a godless heathen. It was blue and sparkly as I recall.

Please share with the group!!!

Marking my place on this thread, I would like to know as well as I am a somewhat lasped Catholic but have never heard of different colour rosaries meaning stuff.

I didn't even know they came in different colours - what's the difference? How did you find out?

Are you sure they are not Anal bead Chaos?

What IS the significance then? c'mon, spill!

My keyboard is now under a layer of coffee at the idea that at age six I owned a set of blue sparkly anal beads. Given to me by a nun.

I always thought in Catholicism blue symbolised the Virgin Mary, might be wrong though.

OK, I've found a couple of things on t'internet.

One is not shocking - that it's supposed to remind you of Our Lady (Mary, mother of Jesus)

The other one could be deemed to be shocking - they are prison issue rosaries

is it to do with these people?

Nope, keep guessing.

Against female clergy?

The World Mission Rosary?

"Each decade of that World Mission Rosary calls to mind an area where the Church continues her evangelizing mission: green for the forests and grasslands of Africa; blue for the ocean surrounding the islands of the Pacific; white symbolizing Europe, the seat of the Holy Father, shepherd of the world; red calling to mind the fire of faith that brought missionaries to the Americas and yellow, the morning light of the East, for ASIA."

A Catholic mystery - like it!

marking place - should really be getting ready to go out with DS but too intrigued...

It's nothing to do with religion - it's teenagers marking off sexual exploits with beads

Is it something to do with the pro-lifers? Or poor babas buried in unconsecrated ground?

If it's worse than the Padre Pio stuff it must be bad indeed...

It's nothing to do with dragonbutter is it?

YANBU.

It is completely reasonable to neither know nor care the supposed significance of a set of beads.

Something to do with 'ring' rosaries, which are smaller, round, rigid and with beads round the edge - could be used as an, ahem, sex toy?
