Vintage Rosary Necklace Made of Real Jasmine Flowers with Original Container

Vintage Rosary Necklace Made of Real Jasmine Flowers with Original Container-
In 14th century Italy, jasmine was associated with the Virgin Mary, a connection that’s represented in paintings such as “Madonna of the Rose Bower.” Medieval European art often depicted women sitting under a bower of climbing jasmine. Jasmine’s striking scent (often described as “heady”) and symbolism of love make it an ideal flower to give for romantic occasions. Anniversaries, weddings, or special date nights are appropriate for Jasmine. On Our Lady’s dress, this flower is found directly over her womb, indicating to the Aztec people that she herself carries the only true God, the true Center of the cosmos. Thus, the tiny flower—half-hidden in the thick folds of a gloriously floral garment—steadfastly proclaims in silent humility that Our Lady is the Mother of the Most High God.
