My Story

Hi I’m Zsareina, and I started HillTop Rosaries in 2018 after the discovery of Rosary making brought me back to life. In 2014, I graduated from university with a BFA in Graphic Design, but in 2016, only two years after starting a new career path I lost everything. A rare sickness called Intracranial Hypertension damage my optic nerve and my retina. It left me with more than half my eye sight gone and some color loss. I lost my lively hood and my dreams. Until I discovered Rosary making. Using my remaining sight, I began bending and crimping wire around the beads that I found at near craft and bead shops. As I slowly built my Rosary making skills, I began to rebuild my life.

It’s a difficult story to share why I was inspired to start rosary making but after becoming visually impaired I started collecting Rosaries and learning more about my catholic faith. After reading Rome sweet Home I was inspired by Scott Huhns story of starting over. I thought if he could start over; so could I. I tried to think of what I could do to help with the new Catholic evangelization. I had always loved the rosary and sadly to this day I think it is one of the most misunderstood catholic disciplines. I hope in my small way I can help change people misconceptions around the rosary.
