Rosary

Rosary is a form of prayer in Catholic Church and to the string of beads used to count component prayers.

How to pray the rosary (basic structure)

The prayers that comprise the rosary are arranged in sets of ten Hail Marys, called decades. Each decade is preceded by one Lord’s Prayer (Our Father) and followed by one Glory Be To The Father. Rosary contains of five decades.

Begin with the Sign Of The Cross (In The Name Of The Father). Pray the Apostle’s Creed holding the crucifix and continue on the straight piece of the rosary with one Lord’s Prayer (Our Father), three Hail Marys and a Glory Be To The Father. Then, to start the first decade, pray one Lord’s Prayer (Our Father). Moving on to the circular piece of the rosary, continue with ten Hail Marys and finish the first decade with one Glory Be To The Father. By saying five decades of the rosary, you will complete one full circuit of the beads.
