If you scroll down to the post about Grandpa Anton's rosary and the medal that hangs where the crucifix usually is, you'll see that my sister and niece sort of translated the German inscriptions: one side actually says
"Michael Erzengel , bitte für uns" (Michael archangel, pray for us), and they came...close.
The other side of the medal , below, says a little more, which Larry and I figured out last night.
O Maria ohne Sünde empfangen, bitte für uns die wir zu Dir unsere Zuflucht nehmen
Translated, it says:
"Oh Mary conceived without sin, pray for us that we take to you our refuge"
It'd be re-worded on a medal in English, but we understand. Now, WHO can claim the indulgence?
By the way, did you realize there are people who collect unusual rosaries?
Thanks, Larry!
