This image (above) is of a tapestry that I recognized (at least a replica of) in the recent Harry Potter movie. The original is rumored to hang at the New York Cloister Museum. I plan on visiting soon to take a gander at this, and more, classic Christian imagery.Here is your activity for the day: The Rosary of Seven Sorrows.
For instructions on how to actually pray through this rosary you may check out [this site]
CLICK/PRINT/COLOR/CUT!
As always click to get the full size image, and print on setting "scale to fit media".
There are 2 ways to construct this project. (1) cut out each section of beads as a strand, and glue ends into the icon bead. OR (2) cut out each bead - no precision needed - crumple each into a ball, then string them together with a needle and thread. Look at sample image below for both styles...
I will validate the rumor. I have been to the Cloisters and have seen the above pictured tapestry... in the flesh!
