About the tags in your last post, what is a rosary? I’m Christian but not familiar with that term?

The rosary is a prayer devotion that Catholics do. It's the name for the item we use for the prayer too! It looks like this:

The prayer beads are for different prayers that we go through. Essentially, they're divided into decades - each decade you pray one Our Father prayer and one Hail Mary prayer. While you pray the rosary, you meditate on the mysteries of the rosary - each day of the week has a different set! There are five decades total.

The rosary's been around for a while - Catholics have been praying it for... like at least five hundred years, something like that. Tradition has it dating all the way back to the 1200s. Many saints and apparitions have emphasized the importance of it, so it's a popular prayer for us, and I do find it fulfilling, but it's a lot to take on all at once sometimes haha!

It's called the rosary because roses are associated with the Virgin Mary. And for the record, since it's a popular misconception, we're not worshipping her. We're asking for her prayers is all, just like we ask each other. :)
