Rosaries - Catholic Company Starting
from: $1.95
The Church traces
the origins of the Rosary back to St. Dominic and
celebrates the Feast of the Holy Rosary on October 7, in
commemoration of the Christian victory at Lepanto in
1571. On the same day as the naval battle at Lepanto the
Rosary confraternity in Rome was celebrating the Rosary
with a Rosary procession. It is because of this timing
that the battle victory was attributed to Our Lady and
the Rosary and Pope Pius V ordered it become the feast
day of the Holy Rosary. The Rosary is an extremely
popular devotion and was highly regarded by Pope John
Paul II.
From the
traditional 5 decade Rosary has developed a smaller
chaplet, similar to the Rosary, in that it is used to
keep track of your prayers. There are various chaplets
for specific devotions to saints, Mary and Jesus. Some
of the well-known chaplet devotions are the St. Michael
chaplet and the Divine Mercy chaplet.
