Many years ago I had the fortune to visit the Insigne y Nacional Basílica de Santa María de Guadalupe in Mexico City, Mexico. Together with my godparents... 😍 😍.
It is a sanctuary of the catholic church where you can see the image of the virgin of Guadalupe and faithful believers raise their prayers...

This beautiful place I remember in a special way and would love to visit again. ❤️
From there I was able to get my hands on this rosary, which my godmother very proud of her Mexican culture showed it to me.
It is a rosary of 8 cm approximately contains 9 red basins, yes it is quite small, it has an eye on the cross that when you get close to see it you observe the image of the virgin of Guadalupe Super impressive! 😍 which also looks beautiful and the most relaxing thing is its smell of roses.... Yes, as you read, as soon as you open that tiny box it smells very strong of roses... 🌸

What does it mean that it smells like roses? According to what I have read, the Catholic Church conceives the smell of roses, lilies and flowers in general as special, because they remind us of important moments in the story of Jesus, as well as reflecting the sweet love of God, the presence of the divine, of angels and a reminder of the Garden of Eden.
On the other hand, within the history of the apparitions of the virgin Guadalupe there is a key moment where the flowers demonstrate the veracity and existence of the virgin that if you want to deepen and read I leave it HERE that comes from the official website of the basilica for you to know 😀.

Unquestionably it is something I remember with much amazement and affection... Tell me do you have any similar experience? 😃
