Irish penal rosary : ウィキペディア英語版 | Irish penal rosary
The Irish Penal Rosary () was a single-decade rosary used during penal times in Ireland, when Roman Catholicism and its religious objects were forbidden.〔(Carrickedmond and Abbeyshrule Parish in the Penal Times )〕〔(Encyclopedia of Catholic Devotions and Practices ) at Google Book Search〕 This version of the rosary is easily hidden, allowing devout Roman Catholics to pray with less fear of being detected. ==Description==
The crucifix has various symbols of the Passion:〔 a hammer for the nails of the cross; a halo for the Crown of Thorns; a jug symbolizing the Last Supper; cords for binding which recall the Scourging at the Pillar; the spear used at Calvary; a cock and pot, which illustrates an early apocryphal legend relating to Judas the betrayer, and a roasting cock which suddenly came to life and crowed (thus prophesying the Resurrection); and three nails used for the crucifix. Small marks along the side of the corpus indicate a ladder, both for the ladder used in the crucifixion and a metaphor for ascent into heaven.
