The Irish for Penal Rosary is An PaidrÃn Beag. This Rosary dates back to penal times. When the Catholic religion was outlawed in Ireland, it was forbidden to have religious objects. The one-decade Penal Rosary was concealed in the hand or up a sleeve allowing. This allowed Catholics to pray without being detected. The ring of the Rosary Beads was moved from thumb to finger to finger to keep track of the decades prayed. The Penal Cross is replicated from an original dating to c.1722. Short-arms were developed due to the tendency of the standard long armed cross to break off.
