    MsHymanRoth - I have been on the search for a rosary also as well as a Bible that can be passed down to our children.

    Hi. I still haven't found one! A local Bridal shop is having a trunk show and the designer coming also does handmade rosaries. I might just wait and see what she has to offer. Good luck!

    MsHymanRoth - you should check your local Christian/Catholic Store. There are a couple in my area that I plan on stopping by. Also check with your priest.

    In regards to bibles, I'll give you two recommended translations:

    NAB - New American Bible (Usually the cover will say St. Joseph's bible.  That name is not the name of the translation).  This is the official translation used in American Masses. 

    RSVCE - Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (and poo poo on NRSVCE - New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition) - this as far as I am aware is used in Europe.  It is a much more literal translation.  Its good for bible studies and is used by most bible scholars who wouldn't be able to use the texts in the original languages.  It will usually say Ignatius Press or just Ignatius on the cover.

    The reason I poo poo on NRSVCE is because its not so much a translation, as a revision of the bible to impliment inclusive language and to attempt to vague out the translations of passages that are controversial for our times.

    Deuay Rheims - this is the translation of the bible pre-Vatican II.  It was translated from the Vulgate - a translation into Latin done by St. Jerome and translated from the original Greek and Hebrew.

    And the all time bible to avoid:  The Good News Bible.  If you want a bible that glosses over everything, distorts its translation into utter vagueness and plays with the meaning of passages, the good news bible is it.  Granted, I have used the Good News Bible a bit when working with children because the language is very simple.  The more complex concepts that are lost with the translation go over the tops of heads of children anyway and often they get a better jist of the passage by using this translation.  However, the danger is that the vagueness can easily lead people into theological misunderstandings. 

    If you want a good bible study program, there's a good textbook called "Understanding the Scriptures."  My household sister's husband also made a podcast class using this textbook.  http://www.catholicboard.com/  He's really good.  He got about 60 members of his parish involved in the bible study and by posting his lectures online, he's reached people throughout the world with it.

    By the way, is there anyone in your family (like an aunt or grandma) that has an old rosary? i think that would be better, it would carry more meaning than just buying any antique rosary.

    Another good type of rosary is a rosary made out of rose petals.  They're dried out and condensed into the beads.  Of all the rosaries I've owned, that  one hasn't fallen apart on me yet.  Most rosaries you buy tend to unlink because the wire they use to make them is so flimsy.

    Thank you for the info!!! After telling my fiances mom how I wished I had a beautiful rosary, she let me pick from a collection of ones that she's collected forever! Now I have a gorgeous one that means so much.

    My grandma even told me she wants it to be a present from her... so she's getting me on and it's going to be blessed by the Pope!

    I will visit the shop for sure though, I love rosaries and collecting pretty ones!
