Help Please Identifying a Rosary Center - She's Our Lady of Sorrows!

Greetings All,

I would like some help please identifying the person depicted on this rosary center.  The picture is below. The  back of the center shows the Earth and has the words Terra Santa. I looked up the words and I think I know who she is, but I'd like a non-biased opinion so I'm not going to say anything. I'd appreciate any help you could give to me.

Update: Thank you for the help identifying her as Our Lady of Sorrows and the Terra Santa as the soil of the Holy Land from Jerusalem.

Blessings,

  1. Terra Santa of course means holy land and this looks like Our Sorrowful Mother.

  3. That's right. The official name is Mater Dolorosa which translates to Sorrowful Mother. The ones I have also have earth from the Holy Land on the back. :) Sorry, had to delete the last comment because of a spelling mistake. :)

  4. Thanks for the information. I found the center at your store, so that I could show the lady who wanted to know. Thanks so much. Great center too with the soil from the Holy Land. :)
