Prayer beads are also found in many other religions (notably Hinduism, where the practice appears to have started), and some have been found dating back to antiquity. Similar prayer counters (originally using knotted ropes) date to about the fourth century, when they were used to pray the Jesus prayer. Other counting methods, such as pebbles or pegboards, were also used by the early Desert Fathers [3].

It is said that when Roman explorers came into India and encountered the Japa mala, they heard jap mala instead of japa mala. Jap means "rose", and the mala was carried back to the Roman Empire as rosarium, and into English as rosary. However, this etymology seems unlikely because of the dating. According to the 1911 edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, "Thomas of Chantimpre, who wrote about the middle of the 13th century, first mentions the word 'rosary' (De apibus, ii. 13), using it apparently in a mystical sense as Mary's rose- ...

A set of Rosary beads usually contains 50 beads in groups of ten (a decade), with an additional large bead before each decade. Some beads have been known to have one hundred or one hundred and fifty. These numbers were chosen to match the number of psalms, or a third or two-thirds of them. The beads were traditionally made from the seeds of the "bead tree", but are now more usually made of artificial materials. In a common form, the beads are true olive seeds; in past times there was a respectable trade in Rosaries made with ol ...

Many Eastern Christians use a prayer rope instead; its use is much more prevalent, and it is typically associated with the Jesus Prayer. Another form of prayer beads is popular among members of the Anglican Communion. Originally called Anglican prayer beads, this bead set is also known as the "Anglican Rosary" or as "Christian prayer ...

The recitation of the Rosary is traditionally dedicated to one of three sets of "Mysteries" to be said in sequence, one per night: the Joyful (sometimes Joyous) Mysteries; the Sorrowful Mysteries; and the Glorious Mysteries. Each of these three sets of Mysteries has within it five different themes to be meditated on, one for each decade of ten Hail Marys. Pope John Paul II, in his apostolic letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae (October 2002), reccomended an additional set called the Luminous Myst ...

These numbers were chosen to match the number of psalms, or a third or two-thirds of them.
