This unique chaplet includes 15 beads with a Nativity centerpiece, and features a full-color St. Andrew Christmas Novena chaplet prayer card. This beautiful prayer is traditionally prayed 15 times a day from the feast of Saint Andrew, November 30th, until Christmas Day. Although named after St. Andrew, since the novena begins on his liturgical feast day, it is not actually addressed to this saint, but to God Himself, asking Him to grant our request in the honor of the birth of His Son at Christmas. It is piously believed that whoever recites this chaplet every day from November 30th until Christmas Eve will obtain the favor requested. This prayer helps prepare our hearts for God's generous outpouring of grace in the Nativity of His Son and His merciful response to our intentions. "Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in piercing cold. In that hour, vouchsafe, O my God, to hear my prayer and grant my desires, through the merits of Our Savior Jesus Christ, and of His Blessed Mother. Amen."
