Basics of the Rosary
What is the rosary?
The rosary is a string or chain comprised of 60 beads, and a crucifix. On each bead, one recites a prayer unique to that particular bead. Rosary beads can be made of many different materials, including pearls, crystal, marble, glass, wood, and even rose petals, which can be of any shape and size.
