”Wert thou to consider this world, and realize how fleeting are the things that pertain unto it, thou wouldst choose to tread no path except the path of service to the Cause of thy Lord. None would have the power to deter thee from celebrating His praise, though all men should arise to oppose thee. Go thou straight on and persevere in His service.” —Baha’u’llah, Gleanings

Sea turtles are among the most determined and persevering of God’s creatures, making the long journey home to lay their eggs, steadfast in their endeavors. This set of prayer beads is unique in that the turtles can be turned to reveal two different designs. Pearls in between each turtle symbolize the eggs they so patiently lay.
