Key of Heaven Pocket Rosary
The significance of beads and colors

The white opal beads symbolize innocence and purity. They are slightly transparent, like clouds in the sky on a clear day. The findings and key are made of gold, to represent the gold of which the Gates and City of Heaven are formed.

The Key of Saint Peter is inscribed with the words "Ubilaeum 2000", a memento of Jubilee 2000. An image of the Basilica in Rome that bears his name adorns the round handle. It is inscribed with the words "A. Pietro". He was the first Pope and the Apostle that Jesus called the "rock", upon which He would build His church.
