[MR] Paternoster Day at Pennsic

[Stefan li Rous]

Countess Rowan announced:
<<< Tuesday, August 9th will be Paternoster Day on Artisans Row at
Pennsic. I've been asked again to organize our tent and with that in
mind, I was wondering if anyone in Atlantia would like to join us and
display your creations or demonstrate how to make prayer beads, or how
to make beads - basically anything having to do with Paternosters in
period.>>>

Are/were paternoster beads the same as rosary beads? Or are they both  
necklaces but different beads or bead counts?

I have a little bit on rosaries and making rose beads in this file in  
the RELIGION section of the Florilegium, but am always open to  
additional knowledge and information:
rosaries-msg (60K) 1/26/03 Period rosaries and their use. Making rose  
beads.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/RELIGION/rosaries-msg.html

Okay, I do have this file as well:

Psaltrs-Rose-lnks (16K) 11/29/05 Links to info on medieval Psalters  
and Rosaries by Dame Aoife Finn of Ynos Mon.
http://www.florilegium.org/files/RELIGION/Psaltrs-Rose-lnks.html

If any of the gentles who taught last year, or are going to teach this  
year, have a class handout which will stand on it's own without the  
actual item or teacher, I'd be interested in considering adding it to  
the Florilegium. Either on the beads themselves or bead making or on  
the period religious aspects that these might have touched on.

I can handle photographs and diagrams and the copyright remains with  
the author. I will also accept updates at any time. So you can submit  
what you have now and if you learn some stuff at Pennsic or at any  
later time, that you'd like to add, you can do so. Word or RTF format  
is the easiest format for me to handle, but other formats are possible.

Thanks,

    Stefan
