A rosary is a spiritual and meditative tool used in the Catholic faith for prayer and reflection. It consists of a string of beads, typically made of wood or glass, arranged in a specific pattern to help guide the prayers of the faithful. Each bead on the rosary represents a prayer, allowing individuals to keep track of their progress as they recite prayers such as the Our Father and Hail Mary. The rosary is often used during times of personal devotion, communal worship, or for special occasions such as weddings, funerals, or religious holidays. It is a tangible symbol of faith and devotion for many Catholics around the world.
