New Age Rosaries with demonic symbols have appeared at false apparition sites throughout the world and in most cases are given away for free. They are made from white, yellow, pink and blue plastic, and stamped as having been made in Italy. Since they are available at places of pilgrimage, it makes Catholics think they are safe to use.

These rosaries are considered New Age due to their demonic symbolism. For example, if you look closely behind the figure of Christ there is a caduceus, which is an upright pole, representing mediation between heaven and earth. This pole is associated with messenger gods like Hermes or Mercury and was used as an ancient herald’s wand.

Satan is shown behind the figure of Christ and is depicted by a coiled serpent, which represents latent power, concealed but not yet fully manifest, a dormant power. It may also represent to Satanists that the devil is equal to or greater than Christ. The crucifix includes the use of pentagrams, which is a major occult symbol. The pentagrams have five points, which represent spirit, fire, earth, water and air. The pentagram at the bottom is upside down and represents the devil’s goat. The four circles with dots in the center signify the sun in alchemy.

Information regarding these rosaries was first given at the Marian Cenacle in Limoges, France, on March 14, 2005. These warning have been posted on various Catholic sites including the following:
