THE STORY OF THE ROSARY

How the rosary came to be

By Rev. Fr. William Saunders

The rosary is built from five decades, with meditations on the Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious mysteries. Its exact origins are uncertain. Strings of beads were once called Paternosters, and the form we know developed between the 12th and 15th centuries.

Tradition links St. Dominic to the rosary, though scholars disagree about his role. The 1571 Battle of Lepanto, which Pope Pius V tied to the rosary, led to the Feast of the Holy Rosary on October 7.
