Atelier-Beads ROSARY BEADS, PRAYER, DEVOTION, MEDITATION 

     The word "bead" comes directly from the old English word for "prayer."  I derive great satisfaction from creating prayer beads for all Christian faiths, including traditional Catholic rosaries, Anglican beads, Orthodox chotkis, and the Lutheran "Wreath of Christ." I have recently stepped outside my own spiritual path to create a set of Juzu, Buddhist prayer beads, for my brother. Prayer beads are truly universal.  Please visit my website and contact me through my website.                www.atelier-beads.com
