The history of the rosary as a prayer chain goes back to the beginnings of Christianity. In his writing "Consueverunt" of September 17, 1569, Pope Pius V definitively defined the text of the "Ave Maria" and regulated the form of the rosary prayer and the form known today with 59 beads.
Each rosary consists of these centuries-old elements:
+ Sign of the Cross and Creed.
+ Glory to the Father and Our Father
+ Three "Hail Marys" with petition for the Christian virtues of faith, hope and love
+ Glory be to the Father
+ Five movements with one "Our Father", ten "Hail Marys" and one "Glory be to the Father" each.
The word "rosary" comes from the Latin "rosarium", meaning "rose garden". In Christian iconography, Mary, the mother of Jesus, is symbolized by roses. The Feast of the Rosary on October 7 each year is also celebrated in honor of Mother Mary.
These beautiful rosaries are handmade from precious stone beads with matching colored string. Each rosary comes in a push button case with information in four languages.
