Q: How do I reset my password or unlock my account?
A: After a limited number of failed attempts to sign-in to Virgo Sacrata, you will be temporarily locked out from trying to sign in. When your account is locked, you will not be able to sign in — even with the correct password. This lock lasts about 45 minutes and will then clear on its own. After 45 minutes have passed, check to confirm that you can sign in successfully at https://www.virgosacrata.com/my-account. If you can’t remember your password, you can request a new password here.

Q: It says that the rosary is sold on the site. Is there a way to get another made.
A: Depends. Our rosaries have a unique original design, being offered as limited edition designer rosaries. Each new rosary will not be exactly the same because of the unique properties and qualities of the semiprecious gemstones and jewelry findings. Similar rosaries can be produced, and many other variations are regularly added to our online catalog. Please contact us about any specific rosary you wish to purchase.

Q: Are your sterling silver products made of solid sterling silver?
A: Yes, all our sterling silver products such as medals, necklaces or parts of the rosaries, including wires, findings and chains are at least 92.5 percent pure silver according to our certified manufacturers’ specifications. Copper is typically combined to improve the metal’s hardness and durability without compromising the quality and look of the silver.

Q: How do you measure the length of a rosary?
A: Our rosaries are measured if you would hold it at the cross and let it hang, and then measure it.

Q: Is this item (rosary, candle, a crucifix, …etc) blessed, or can you bless it for me?
A: 
At Virgo Sacrata we do not sell any blessed items to avoid the sin of simony. You need to ask your local parish priest to bless an item for you.

Q: How to bless a rosary, candle, crucifix  …etc?
A: 
Traditional Catholic priests use The Roman Ritual – 3 Volume Set or Parish Ritual book (both available form the Virgo Sacrata) for blessings. Please also check the following resources:

Q: Do you wholesale your products?
A: We do not wholesale products for resale.
