John Holden shares story of Cardinal Bourne's rosary
First source report
John Holden shared the story of how his late father discovered a rosary belonging to Cardinal Francis Bourne.
The rosary, which features large black beads and four large medals, was purchased by Holden's father at an auction alongside a caricature of the Cardinal. While Holden's mother initially viewed his auction purchases as junk, she later identified the items as significant after Holden's father showed them to a parish priest, who confirmed they were genuine. Holden only saw the items after his father passed away when his mother retrieved them from a box.
