ABOUT THE ROSARY: For the un-initiated, the rosary or "garland of roses" is a traditional Catholic devotion. Prayer beads are used to count the series of prayers that make up the rosary. The prayers consist of repeated sequences of the Lord's Prayer (Pater Noster) followed by ten prayings of the Hail Mary (Ave Maria) and a single praying of the "Glory Be" prayer and is sometimes accompanied by the Fatima Prayer; each of these sequences is known as a decade.

The praying of each decade is accompanied by meditation on one of the Mysteries of the Rosary, which recall the life of Jesus Christ.

The traditional 15 Mysteries were standardized, based on the long-standing custom, by Pope St. Pius V in the 16th century. The mysteries are grouped into three sets: the Joyful, the Sorrowful, and the Glorious mysteries. In 2002, Pope John Paul II announced five new optional mysteries, the Luminous mysteries, bringing the total number of mysteries to 20.
