Antique Rosary

A rosary is a string of beads with a crucifix. A rosary is made of a of fifty-four beads. The beads are in five groups of ten called "decades". The rosary decades are separated by a space containing a single bead. A person recites a group of repetitive prayers while contemplating certain events, known as "mysteries," in the lives of Jesus or the Virgin Mary. A rosary is not intended to be a fashion
accessory. A rosary is not a toy or a piece of jewelry. After all a rosary is a very important part of many people's lives.

Beads help the praying person to keep track of their prayers without being distracted by the counting process. In almost all countries the rosary is used in the nature of prayer-counters. Some rosary beads are very beautiful. Exquisite stones or hand crafted beads and precious metals impart a beauty in the rosaries. Obviously, sterling and gold rosaries will be priced higher than the silver. Giving a rosary is easy to do. You can find many lovely rosary items here at Tucson Tiques Collectilbles.
