The Rosary is the recitation of five decades of the Our Father, ten Hail Mary's, and a Glory Be. The person mediates on the saving mysteries of our Lord's life and the Blessed Mother. The mysteries include: Joyful mystery, Glorious mystery, Sorrowful mystery, and Luminous mystery. The Rosary beads are used to keep track of prayers being recited. The Rosary reminds us of what Jesus lived through and did for us. By praying the Rosary, people obtain a deeper appreciation of these events in His life. The origin of the Rosary is not clear. During the earliest days of the Church, Catholics used prayer beads and the repetitive prayers. There is evidence that beads were used to assist prayers in the Middle Ages
