The Holy Rosary in the sense of 'crown of roses' is also known as the Dominican Rosary.
The Holy Rosary refers to a set of prayers used in the Catholic Church. It is also referred to as the string of knots or beads used to count the component prayers.
When concerning the prayer, the word is typically capitalized ('The Rosary', as is customary for different names of prayers, like 'The Lord's Prayer', and 'The Hail Mary'); when concerning the beads, it's written with a lower-case initial letter ('a rosary bead').
The prayers that compose the Rosary are organized in sets of ten Hail Marys, known as decades. Every decade is preceded by one prayer ('Our Father') and historically followed by one Glory Be. Several Catholics conjointly like to recite the 'O My Jesus' prayer after the 'Glory Be', which is the most well-known of the seven is the prayers. Throughout recitation of every set, thought is given to one of the mysteries of the prayer beads that recall events within Son and Mary's lives. Five decades are recited per Rosary. Rosary beads are an aid for saying these prayers within the correct sequence.
Pope Pius V established a regular fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary, supported long-standing custom. This teams the mysteries in three sets: the Joyful Mysteries, the Sorrowful Mysteries, and the Glorious Mysteries. In 2002 Pope John Paul II aforesaid that a replacement set of five should be accessorial, termed the Luminous Mysteries, conveyance the full range of mysteries to twenty. The glorious mysteries are prayed on Sunday and Wednesday, the Joyful on Monday and Saturday, the Sorrowful on Tuesday and Friday, and finally the Luminous on Thursday. Typically five decades are recited during a session.
