Meaning of rosary :

 

A devotional form of prayer that invites a meditation on different mysteries of key events in the life of Jesus or Mary. After an initial Apostles Creed, Our Father, three Hail Marys and the Glory Be, the mysteries are then meditated on, one at a time, followed by an Our Father, 10 Hail Marys (called a ‘decade’) and a Glory Be. The mysteries are usually grouped into 4 sets of five meditations: the Joyful (Annunciation, Visitation, Birth of Jesus, Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, Finding of Jesus in the Temple), the Sorrowful (Agony in the Garden, Scourging, Crowning with Thorns, Carrying of the Cross, the Crucifixion), the Glorious (Resurrection of Jesus, Ascension, Descent of the Holy Spirit, Assumption of Mary, Crowning of Mary as Queen of Heaven), and the Luminous (Baptism of the Lord, Miracle at Cana, Proclamation of the Kingdom and Call to Discipleship, the Transfiguration, Institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper) mysteries.
