Catholic Rosaries Knowledge Base
What kinds of aromatic woods are Catholic rosaries made of? My mother was given a rosary in Italy about three decades ago. It was made of some kind of reddish-brown wood and sterling silver. After twenty years, the wood still had a spicy, rich scent to it. The rosary was stolen a few years ago; I'd like to have another one made for her, but don't know the type of wood. The only aromatic wood in rosaries I've been able to find is sandalwood. Does anyone know of other aromatic woods rosaries can be made of?
What's up with everyone wearing those Catholic saint bracelets and rosaries? Everywhere I go I see lots of people wearing rosaries or those wooden saint bracelets as jewelry, and lots of these people you know are not religious at all (e.g. I see women dressing like hoes but wearing a rosary). I even know some Christians who wear them and some of them don't even know that these are Catholic things.
why does the catholic Church use rosaries and statues of Jesus Christ? in the bible it says not to have images or statues of what are in heaven(i forgot what paragraph but it was in exodus).And in my catholic church it has a statue of jesus christ.Why does the catholic church allow this if it clearly said not to have images or carvings of what is in heaven?
Do Catholic people still use rosaries? I know that rosaries are something that Catholic people use when they pray, but I was wondering if the still use them or if that was just something that they did a while ago. Thanks :D
Do catholic priests carry rosaries? I am very naive with the ways of the catholic church. Do fathers carry rosaries? What is the rosary for? What other holy items do members of the church carry? Any info is appreciated. Thanks
Why do some rock musicians like to wear rosaries especially if they are NOT religious people? Many of these musicians have tattoos and behave in an outrageous manner, they are not your typical image of a devoted Catholic. Usually Catholics wear rosaries because they hold Catholicism and its ideals in high esteem. I do not understand why these musicians would wear these rosaries since wearing them sends out a strong message of ones religious affinity to the church. For us Catholics, wearing a rosary carries a strong significance and these reckless musicians contradict themselves by wearing an object which represents the complete opposite of how they handle themselves.
Should I be allowed to make a Catholic Rosary? Though I am not Catholic and do not plan on praying the rosary I'd like to wear it and pray normally with it in my hand. Should my mom let me do this or do you think its a bad idea and not respectful...I do believe in God and wish to have a necklace with a cross on it...
Is it wrong for a Catholic to wear a rosary? I recently wrote a story where I had a Catholic character who regularly wore a rosary. Today I read where someone said it was wrong to wear rosaries, they're supposed to be an aid to prayer. Well, that's why my character wears it--so he'll have it handy to pray with. I understand why it would be offensive for a non-Catholic to wear it just for looks, but is there a problem with a devout Catholic wearing one? It seems to me it would be better than just stuffing it in a pocket.
how many times a day can a Catholic pray the rosary? I love the rosary, and my heart is at peace when I pray it. I've been praying it once in the morning, and once before bed. can I pray this wonderful prayer more often if I want? does the Catholic Church issue any restrictions regarding this?
Why do non-Catholic black people wear rosaries? First off, do NOT answer "you're racist!" or anything like that. If they're black, they are. If you want me to call them by whatever word of the day that's supposed to be not offensive, well whatever floats your boat. Just calm down, how else do you want me to ask this question? Okay, I am Catholic and I always keep my rosary in my pocket for praying purposes. However, at school I have noticed a lot of black people wearing rosaries, and when I ask if they are Catholic they say "no, it just looks cool." Why do they choose something so religious such as a rosary (which isn't even meant to be worn..) to wear?
Did the Catholic rosary originate in India? The Buddhist rosary consists of 108 beads. Even the old name of the Christian rosarium is an imitation of the Buddhist rosary. The Sanskrit japa-mâlâ, a garland for recitation, was taken as a japâ-mâlâ, a garland of roses. The “original” reading is, of course, japa, not japâ.

Do you have to be Catholic to use rosary beads? I like the idea of rosary beads, but it's a great deal of trouble to convert & I don't have the means to right now as I am only sixteen. I don't really even attend church anymore anyway. But I'd like something religious besides just my Bible to have with me. I've always been Methodist, but I don't see why I couldn't use rosary beads for prayer; it's all of Christian decent, right?
If Brandon Flowers is Mormon, why do his songs contain blatant Catholic imagery? I am a huge Brandon Flowers fan. I know he is a practicing Mormon, and that's fine with me, he can believe whatever he wishes. He says his Mormonism is apparent in his music, but most of what I find in his music, on the religious side, is usually blatantly Catholic, singing about saints and rosaries. Does anyone know why he is drawn to using Catholic imagery so much? Again I am not complaining, I am a big fan!

What Exactly are the Prayers of the Catholic Rosary? More specifically is the Fatima prayer part of the Catholic rosary or not? As I learned it the Glory Be, Fatima, and the introduction of the mystery is stated on the cord/link between the last Hail Mary and the Our Father. However, Fatima is often left off. I was wondering was Fatima taken out of the rosary, was it placed in but never caught on, is it optional, or is it technically for rosaries to all souls but is usually forgotten? Prayer of Fatima Call: Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell Response: Lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy.
Where can I find a Catholic rosary in Athens Greece? I just came back from Rome and forgot to buy one of my colleagues something. The only thing that comes to mind is one of those lovely rosaries which I found in the various religious shops next to the Vatican. They were cheap but smelled lovely and I added one to my own collection of icons and crosses. I would hate to give mine away and would prefer to buy one even if it's from Greece. I'm not talking about the Greek KOMBOLOI. I'm talking about the Catholic prayer beads. If anyone knows where I can find one I would be most grateful for any info. Thank you.

What is the symbolism of a Wiccan rosary? I'm making a rosary for a Catholic friend of mine and while I was searching for a crucifix, I noticed several parts for Wiccan rosaries. I understand a bit of the meaning behind the Catholic rosary, but I had no idea there were Wiccan ones as well. What do the different parts of the rosary mean in the Wiccan religion? Or is this sort of rosary used by anyone under the Pagan umbrella?
If a person is not accepted into the Catholic Church? If "someone" is not confirmed into the Catholic Church - what denomination is similar without all the red tape? This person does not want to feel hurt or judged by the church she is a member of ever again. Is it Episcopal? Do they really have many similar ways of worship like the rosary, the creed, & other catholic customs? To Deep Thought: One cannot be confirmed into the Catholic Church until they have been through RCIA classes. She already did the classes...And one cannot receive Eucharist until they are confirmed. It is not like other Christian churches where anyone who is baptized is welcome to the Lords Supper. SUSANNA LIVES: what church do you go to? Thanks for all of your great answers!
I was watched while looking at the Catholic section? I was at the christian family store today and I was looking at the rosaries and stuff over by the Catholic section and one of the clerks was glancing at me with a suspicious look every now and then. Why do you think that is?
Is it wrong to wear a rosary around the neck if not "Catholic"? I bought this nice religous necklace at the mall the other day trying to show my respect to god. Not even knowing it was a so called "rosary" until I got to school and a million kids started telling me it was not right to wear it if not catholic. Now I might have to take it back. Oh Well :(
