Description
Rosary in great condition, exactly as pictured Smoke-free home Some of the pictures make the Gunmetal spacer beads look black-black but they are Silvery Black Gunmetal. Makes a great gift! The prayers that essentially compose the Rosary are arranged in sets of ten Hail Mary with each set preceded by one Lord's Prayer and followed by one Glory Be. During recitation of each set, known as a decade, thought is given to one of the Mysteries of the Rosar, which recall events in the lives of Jesus and Mary. Normally, five decades are recited in a session. Other prayers are sometimes added after each decade (in particular, the Fátima Prayer) and before (in particular, the Apostles' Creed), and after (in particular, the Hail, Holy Queen) the five decades taken as a whole. The rosary as a material object is an aid towards saying these prayers in the proper sequence
