it's something you pray prayers on, i believe they kiss the cross when they first get it, then you pray an our father, three hail marys, another our father and a glory be and then 9 hail marys (one for each bead) then theres a space, and a single bead, which you say an our father on, and then it continues with the nine after another space
http://www.rosary-center.org/howto.htm this tells you how to pray the rosary. I'm not Catholic, but I find Catholicism to be very beautiful Jamie
Perhaps none answer because it pertains to the catholic religion and being that this forum is titled Christianity and based on the Christian faith we are not sure why someone feels they need a necklace to pray.
umm....last time I checked Catholicism IS a sect of Christianity. Pentecostals use dance and flags to worship, are they any less Christian because they use tools to add to their worship? This is why there is so much strife in Christianity, people can't even agree on what the 'proper' way to worship God is. Jamie
