Whether you are buying for personal devotion or stocking a parish gift shop, this Italian-made rosary delivers quality and spiritual meaning at an accessible price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePadre Pio of Pietrelcina (1887–1968) was a Capuchin Franciscan friar who bore the stigmata — the wounds of Christ — for fifty years, making him one of the most visible signs of the Passion in modern Catholic history. He was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2002 and is venerated as the patron saint of civil defense volunteers, stress relief, and January blues. Padre Pio famously said, \"The Rosary is the weapon,\" and he prayed as many as fifteen decades daily. A rosary bearing his image on the Our Father beads connects the pray-er to that tradition of intense, daily Marian devotion. The brown wood beads recall the Franciscan habit, grounding this sacramental in the earthy simplicity of the Capuchin charism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeads:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown wood — standard rosary bead size on cord construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOur Father Beads:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver oxidized Padre Pio Our Father beads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrucifix:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver oxidized (silver ox) crucifix with corpus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver oxidized center piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cord-link construction — durable for daily prayer use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arrives in a plastic gift box, ready to present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Made in Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e P267R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 735365512188\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Padre Pio rosary makes a meaningful gift for Confirmation, First Communion, RCIA completion, or a feast day celebration — particularly on September 23, the feast of St. Padre Pio.

In 1918, he received the visible stigmata, wounds corresponding to those of the crucified Christ, which he bore until his death in 1968. During those fifty years, his confessional drew pilgrims from across the world, and he was reported to have spent up to nineteen hours a day hearing confessions. His devotion to the Rosary was inseparable from his priestly identity: he kept multiple rosaries on his person at all times and encouraged every penitent to pray it daily. When asked how to grow in holiness, his answer was consistent — pray the Rosary, go to Mass, receive the sacraments. A rosary bearing his image on the Our Father beads is not merely a decorative choice; it is an invitation to imitate his radical commitment to Marian prayer. The brown wood beads echo the simplicity of the Franciscan tradition he lived, making this rosary a fitting instrument for anyone seeking to deepen their prayer life in the spirit of one of the Church's most beloved modern saints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShips within 1–2 business days.\u003c\/strong\u003e Free shipping on all U.S. orders over $40.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McVan","offers":[{"title":"Brown Wood Cord","offer_id":46884515840131,"sku":"P267R","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/9512\/6915\/files\/P267R__63792.1749900343.jpg?v=1774808885","url":"https:\/\/rosarycard.net\/products\/brown-wood-cord-padre-pio-rosary","provider":"Rosarycard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
