The Origin of the Rosary: According to tradition, the use of rosaries began in 1214 when the Virgin Mary gave St. Dominic (c. 1170-1221) the Rosary in the similar form as it exists today except with various wordings of the Hail Mary. About 500 years before Christ, people tied knots in strings as a way of keeping track of repetitive devotions. Primitive forms of prayer beads were made of fruit pits, pieces of bone, hardened clay and dried berries. The wealthy used precious stones and jewels.
A Traditional and Popular Devotion in the Catholic Church: The Rosary (from Latin rosarium, "rose garden"), is a traditional popular devotion in the Roman Catholic Church and in the Anglo-Catholic tradition. The term denotes both a set of prayer beads used in the devotion and the devotional prayer itself, which combines vocal (or silent) prayer and meditation centered around sequences of reciting the Lord's Prayer followed by ten recitations of the "Hail Mary" prayer and a single recitation of "Glory Be to the Father"; each of these sequences is known as a decade.
