DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION

[0010] This description is an example of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to any specific embodiment herein.

[0011] FIG. 1 depicts a container as a wooden box. This container may also be made of ceramic, plastic, glass, clay, or any other material suitable for containing the chosen figurines.

[0012] The wooden box has a latch (1) and hinged lid (2). The hinged lid with latch enables the box to contain the enclosed figurines. The lid may also be, but is not limited to, screw on, clip-on, slide-in, or any other mechanism that attaches the lid to the base.

[0013] FIG. 2 depicts the same wooden box with an opened, hinged lid. The base (4) of this wooden box is separated by a divider (6) to create two equal sized compartments (8) (9).

[0014] In this example, we will use the Flying Novena Prayer. For this prayer series, the user will say the Memorare prayer 10 times. There are ten wooden cubes (10) (11) representing the 10 prayers and a crucifix (12). Nine cubes are blue (10) and one cube is white (11).

[0015] To begin the prayer, all cubes (10) (11) and the crucifix (12) will be in the left-side compartment (8). The user will take the crucifix (12) in hand and make the sign of the cross with it. Once complete, the user will place the crucifix (12) in the right-side compartment (9).

[0016] Next, the user will say nine Memorare prayers. Each time a prayer is complete, the user will move one blue cube (10) from the left-side compartment (8) to the right-side compartment (9). After nine Memorare prayers are complete, the user will say a final tenth Memorare prayer and move the white cube (11) to the right-side compartment (9) completing the prayer series.
