The Rosary, which means “crown of roses” is a form of prayer used in the Catholic Church as a way to meditate and contemplate on the life of Jesus Christ and his mother, Mary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It involves repeating a set series of prayers while contemplating on specific events or “mysteries” from their lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These prayers are recited in a particular sequence using a string of beads, also called a rosary, to keep track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beads help guide the prayer through the different parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
