Baby Marcus' Rosary
One of our foremost priorities in keeping the memory of our little angel alive - and to keep him always close to us - was to arrange his sanctuary at our place. Together with that, we wanted to design a rosary especially for him, to wrap around his urn, that signifies his purity and his forever baby image to us and the family.

Together with that, we wanted to design a rosary especially for him, to wrap around his urn, that signifies his purity and his forever baby image to us and the family.
In the process of choosing the components for our Marcus' rosary, our beader Ysa, suggested for us to use aquamarine stones. The baby blue hue of the stones was just the perfect color we were looking for. This is the exact color we have come to love and represent our son by.

As explained by experts of crystals and semi-precious stones, "the aquamarine is a stone of courage. Aquamarine blue is a divine and eternal color, since it is after all, the color of the skies. Aquamarine is also the color of water, with its life-giving properties. It aids in becoming more attuned to spiritual levels of awareness and yet remain centered. It encourages the ideal of humanitarian service to the world and to the development of humanity. Light-heartedness, creativity.
The aquamarine accentuates confidence, purpose, serenity, peace, tranquility, calming, soothing, cleansing, communication, self-awareness."
What perfect words to signify the wonderful memory of our beautiful son.

To make our baby's rosary extra special, we made sure to put a sterling silver teddy bear charm to show how our son will forever be our baby.
And as we have come to symbolize our Marcus with - the love that he continues to give us and will forever gift us - we included his signature heart charm with his beautiful name engraved on it.

Ysa also suggested a precious image of the Mother & Child as an added religious pendant to go with the Holy Cross. The representation of the Mother & Child truly shows the love of a parent for its child.

Everyday, when we pray for our son, I cannot help but admire the beauty of our Marcus' precious rosary. The combination of sterling silver with the gorgeous baby blue hue of the aquamarine stones is indeed very ethereal. Heavenly, as our baby Marcus truly is.

And as our quest to extend help to others in need continue, we are always reminded of what our baby boy wants us to do, every time we see his priceless rosary wrapped around his tiny urn. A memory of love and prayer.
The Love of Marcus...
