Mary Untier of Knots



A friend recently share the devotion of Mary Untier of Knots with me.  Read below for information and click the link above for more.

To show us the mission granted to the Virgin Mary by Her Son, an unknown artist painted Mary Undoer of Knots with great grace. Since 1700, his painting has been venerated in the Church of St. Peter in Perlack, Germany. It was originally inspired by a meditation of Saint Irenaeus (Bishop of Lyon and martyred in 202) based on the parallel made by Saint Paul between Adam and Christ. Saint Irenaeus, in turn, made a comparison between Eve and Mary, saying:
"Eve, by her disobedience, tied the knot of disgrace for the human race; whereas Mary, by her obedience, undid it".

7 Decade Franciscan Rosary

A seven decade Franciscan Rosary is a nice option if you have too many names for a 5 decade rosary.  This post on the Canterbury Tales blog has information on the seven decade rosary.  This wiki entry also has information on the seven joys of Mary.  A seven decade rosary can also be used for the seven sorrows of Mary devotion.
