Job's Tears Rosary

Job's Tears Rosary

  • $38.99


Job’s tears (scientific name Coix lacryma-jobi), is a tall grain-bearing perennial tropical plant of the ornamental grass family. The seeds of Job’s tears are said to represent the tears shed by the biblical Job during the challenges he faced.

 

The plant produces tear-shaped seeds that dry to a blue-gray, smooth, almost glass-like bead. As the beads age, they darken in color. They also darken with use, as when held in the hand and used for prayer.

 

This natural element is a perfect choice for jewelry and rosary makers because it has a hard shiny coat and a hole at the tip that makes it easy to string for necklaces, bracelets, and rosaries. Research indicates that Job’s Tears have been used in jewelry since 3000 B.C.

 

Known for her simplicity and humility, Mother Teresa of Calcutta used a rosary made of Job’s Tears for her personal prayers.
