About the Item

Devotion to Saint Rita da Cascia Tiny industrious golden bees create this choker. Necklace measure 12,9" (33cm) The pendant is a rose and measures  3,5"(9cm). Length can be customised. Jewel inspired by the devotion to Saint Rita da Cascia St. Rita da Cascia was born in 1381 in Roccaporena, a small suburb of Cascia (Italy). Pope Leo XIII canonised Rita on 24 th May 1900. Her feast is celebrated on the 22 nd May. At her canonisation ceremony she was named "Patroness of Impossible Causes" while in many Catholic countries Rita is known as the patroness of abused wives and heartbroken women. In 2000, on the 100 th anniversary of her canonisation, Pope John Paul II noted her remarkable qualities as a Christian woman: “Rita represented well the 'feminine genius' by living intensely both in physical and spiritual motherhood.” Her body, incorrupt over the centuries, is venerated today in the shrine at Cascia, named after her. Many people visit her tomb every year. THE ATTRIBUTES OF SAINT RITA: ROSES AND BEES Roses It is said that near the end of her life Rita was bedridden at the convent. While visiting her, a cousin asked if she desired anything from her old house. Rita answered asking for a rose from the garden. It was January and her cousin did not expect to find one because of the season. However, when her relative went to the house, a single blooming rose was in the garden, and her cousin brought it back to Rita at the convent. Saint Rita is often portrayed holding roses or with roses nearby. On her feast day churches and shrines of Saint Rita provide blessed roses to the congregation. Bees In the parish church of Laarne, near Ghent, Belgium, there is a statue of Saint Rita with several bees. This depiction originates from the story of her baptism as an infant. On the day after her christening, her family noticed a swarm of white bees flying around her as she slept in her crib. However the bees peacefully entered and exited her mouth without causing her any harm or injury. Instead of being alarmed for her safety, her family was mystified by the sight. According to Butler, this indicated the future of the child was to be marked by industriousness, virtue, and devotion.

14 Kt Yellow Gold Chain Necklace with Sacred Hearts of Jesus, Joseph and Mary
Located in Roma, RM
Chain choker necklace with 3 mobile pendants Chain length to be agreed. The 3 sacred hearts represent the devotion to the sacred heart of St. Joseph sacred heart (with flower branch), Mary (on fire, pierced by dagger with wreath of flowers) and Jesus(crown of thorns and cross). The heart, biblically speaking, is the center of the emotions, of human feelings; that is why the heart, mentioned so often in the Bible, has supreme importance. And since the heart reacts to human emotions, that is why it can be considered the center of sensitivity, so much so that it is considered part of the soul. And in theology, the heart is the divine category of love. "My Divine Heart so ardently loves men that unable to contain within Itself any longer the flames of Its burning love, It needs spread them". The Holy Heart of Jesus is our heart bursting and burning with love and energy even for those who do not love Him and reject Him. ​The Immaculate Heart of Mary...
