Handmade Rosaries

The Rosary is a form of prayer and meditation in the Catholic tradition, which involves the repetition of prayers and the contemplation of specific events in the lives of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. It is a devotional practice that has been widely used by Catholics for centuries. Here's a general description of the Rosary:

Structure:

  • Beads: The Rosary consists of a string of beads, usually in the form of a circular or looped chain. There are five sets of ten beads (decades) separated by a larger bead. A small crucifix is often attached at one end, and a shorter strand of beads with a medal is usually connected to the crucifix.
  • Prayers: The Rosary involves the repetition of specific prayers, including the "Our Father" (the Lord's Prayer), the "Hail Mary," and the "Glory Be." These prayers are said while meditating on specific events in the lives of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary.
