Why not just have it repaired (assuming you have all the parts)? I had one break once. I took it to a local jewelry store. They repaired it . . . for free.


Well, its just a cheap plastic rosary and it'd probably be impossible to repair. I will probably be burying it.

Serious question, here!

What should a person do who lives in an apartment and doesn't have "earth" of his own? Should I bury it in a dark corner of a public park somewhere? Ask the priest permission to bury it on parish property? Bury it in a neighbor's back yard when he isn't looking?

Take it to a friend or family member's house and bury it there!

The park doesn't sound like a bad idea, as long it is in a spot where there isn't a lot of traffic.

If your Pastor allows it, I don't see any problem of burying it within the Parish grounds in a place where the flowers are growing, or in a back corner of small plot.

PErsonally, I've kept my broken Rosaries. No special reason. I've just kept them.

Take it to your parish priest, he will dispose of it for you if you ask him.

Also though, I repair rosaries and people are always giving me their old rosaries that have broken, because I will reuse the beads for other rosaries and sometimes I can mix them and get creative that way. You might just have some one at your parish who does the same thing who would gladly take it off your hands and take care of it for you, if they can't use the beads, they will know what to do with it.

God Bless!!

I know which one I want buried with.

Definitely would be nice to bury it beneath the icon of Mary in the Church yard...ya think? If possible and the priest permits it.

Peace!

Two questions, both related:

1. Can a person use rosary that has not been blessed?

2. If you have one rosary that is blessed, but broken, and all you have is the rosary that is not blessed, can the rosary that is not blessed be used until the other is fixed, or until the rosary not blessed is finally blessed?

Pax Tecum,

John
