Description
The rosary is used in the Roman Catholic Church as form of devotion in which five sets of ten Hail Marys (five decades) are repeated. During each decade, which is preceded by an Our Father and followed by a Glory Be, thought is given to one of the 4 mysteries: Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and Luminous. The origin of the name comes from the Latin rosarium meaning ‘rose garden.’
