Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Catholic birthstone for October?
Rose crystal is the birthstone for October. The rose is the flower of the Rosary — the word rosary itself derives from the Latin for rose garden — and October is the Month of the Holy Rosary, established by Pope St. Pius V following the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. St. Thérèse of Lisieux, whose feast opens October on the 1st, promised to let fall a shower of roses from heaven. No month's birthstone is more theologically layered.
Who is St. Thérèse of Lisieux?
St. Thérèse of Lisieux, the Little Flower, was a French Carmelite nun who died of tuberculosis in 1897 at the age of twenty-four. Her autobiography, The Story of a Soul, introduced the Little Way — sanctity through small acts done with great love — to the modern Church. She was named a Doctor of the Church by Pope John Paul II in 1997, one of only four women to hold that title. Browse our St. Thérèse medal collection for devotional pieces to pair with rose birthstone jewelry.
What is the Month of the Rosary?
October has been the Month of the Holy Rosary since Pope St. Pius V established the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary following the Battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571. The victory was attributed to the prayers of the Rosary confraternities across Europe, and the Church has commemorated it every October since. Our Birthstone Rosary collection includes rose crystal rosaries especially fitting for this month.
Is a rose birthstone necklace a good gift for October?
It may be the most symbolically precise Catholic gift available for an October birthday. The rose stone, the Month of the Rosary, the feast of St. Thérèse and her shower of roses, and the approach of All Saints Day all converge in October. A rose birthstone crucifix necklace or St. Thérèse medal necklace is a gift whose meaning deepens every year.
