Rosary Beads

A rosary is one of the most well-known and recognized symbols of Catholicism. It is a chain or string of knots used as a tool for prayer to commune with the Virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Rosary is the set of prayers said when using a rosary, including the Lord's Prayer and meditations on the Joyful Mysteries, the Glorious Mysteries, and the Sorrowful Mysteries. The most common rosary is made up of rosary beads divided into sections, often with a cross or crucifix hanging from the end. A rosary consists of five decades or sections of small beads, each separated by a Pater (Our Father) bead.

The rosary, according to Catholic church tradition, was created by the Blessed Virgin Mary herself. St. Dominic, a Dominican friar who founded the order in the 13th century, is said to have seen a vision of Our Lady giving him a rosary and asking that Christians replace the Psalms with the specific prayers of the Hail Mary, Our Father, and Glory Be. The Dominican order has since become known for its public preaching and devotion to the Catholic rosary and the Holy Mary. The 15-decade rosary of St. Dominic was the first known rosary.

The colors of the rosary beads often have significance. For instance, green is associated with hope and the renewal of a new life; white symbolizes purity; and red signifies redemption by Jesus Christ. The black rosary bead represents grounding and protection. When black beads are employed in the Holy Rosary prayer, it is associated with feelings of self-control and perseverance. This is why black beads are sometimes used in memory of deceased loved ones.
