A rosary is a sacred object used in Catholic worship. It's a string of beads, typically 59, arranged in sets of ten, separated by larger beads. It is used in liturgy and personal prayer. The beads are counted during the recitation of prayers, including the Our Father and Hail Mary. Each set of ten beads represents a mystery from the life of Christ or Mary. The rosary's symbolic meaning centers on prayerful contemplation of these mysteries, fostering a deeper relationship with God. Its use is a deeply personal and spiritual practice within Catholic worship.
