¿Qué significa que se rompa un rosario o una imagen religiosa? Esto dice la Iglesia Católica

Breaking a rosary or a religious image carries no spiritual meaning or bad omen, according to Father Salvador Barba Maldonado. The priest from the Archdiocese of Mexico explained that these items are material objects that naturally wear out or break over time.

Father Barba Maldonado stated that images and rosaries serve as tools to help people pray but do not possess spiritual power on their own. He described religious images as visible signs that point toward the divine without containing spiritual force within the objects themselves.

The priest warned that believing a broken object will cause misfortune is a superstition that replaces trust in God with a reliance on fetishes. He noted that God does not punish people for accidents or carelessness, as such beliefs contradict the mercy and tenderness of God.
