A Stained Glass Rosary: A rosary prayer book with stained glass sacred art
A Stained Glass Rosary, part of our sacred art Rosary book series, is a Rosary prayer book that pairs each of the 20 mysteries with a full-page stained glass masterpiece from the 13th–17th centuries.
Whether you're learning to pray the Rosary for the first time or looking for a new way to enter into meditation, this book was made to meet you there.
Each page turn reveals a mystery of the Rosary, its corresponding stained glass art, the spiritual fruit, and a Printed Bead Tracker, so your thumb can move down the beads keeping track of where you are at in your prayers. It's a Rosary prayer aid built for visual and kinesthetic learners, and it works just as well for a quiet moment at home as it does praying on the go.
With limited distractions and containing just enough content without being overwhelming, A Stained Glass Rosary is designed to be used while praying.

Application Time
Approximately 15 minutes. Once you place a few and get the hang of it, applying them goes pretty quickly. The stickers are very flexible, yet durable. If you mess up, you can easily re-stick them without tearing the page or ripping the sticker.
Directions
Open your book to the First Joyful Mystery. Press down the page a bit so it opens more easily. Using a heavy book or paperweight, or having someone hold the book down for you, will help. Carefully peel back the first sticker under “Joyful Mysteries.” Use the colored circle on the sticker as a guide, placing it over the largest bead on the page. Once in place, carefully align the sticker over the other beads. Then, press firmly to secure. Repeat for the other 19 mysteries.

Customer Reviews
It really helps me to concentrate while I pray the rosary. Just what I needed.
Praying the rosary with this book is very inspiring, especially because the images are so beautiful and captivating. You can lose yourself with the imagination of each of mysteries of the rosary 📿 .
The stained glass rosary if going to be a gift for my mom, but I put the tracking stickers in for her and used it for my daily rosary this past week. I love the whole idea of these rosary books and their size is perfect to comfortably hold. Studying the pictures while saying the prayers for each decade has helped me stay focused in a house full of kids. I love that the pictures are all recorded in the back pages, too, so I can look them up and learn more about my favorites. I purchased the original painted rosary book for myself and have the same thoughts about it. It’s Beautiful.
This book is amazing! It has taken me to some of the deepest places in my soul that I have ever been. The colors, lighting, and visual poetry take you to different places every time you pray with it. I highly recommend getting the stickers to go with it so you don’t have to take your eyes off of the images.
