The Christian rosary is part of a traditional prayer that is carried out in the Catholic belief, which commemorates twenty mysteries, however there are fifteen in its traditional form. These are related to the life of Jesus and also of the Virgin Mary, in which an Our Father is recited and in turn ten Hail Marys and a glory to the Father. Therefore, a holy rosary is designated by Catholics, which develops an effectiveness when communicating with God.

Origin of the Christian rosary

The rosary contains abundance from the very hands of the Mother and the Redeemer. In addition to this, the rosary is called the string of beads that are handled to pray in the rosary. The origins of the Christian rosary are related to the traditions of antiquity in which it carries out the prayer of the East and the West of the religious culture of Christianity.

Its roots go back to the 9th century, which focuses on honoring Mary the mother of Jesus, which allows it to become known in the West in the same way as in the East.

The Christian rosary focuses on making the repetition of acclamations and praises found in the Gospel of Luke, specifically in the Angel Gabriel’s greeting to Mary and Elizabeth’s greeting to Mary. This allows the well-known Hail Mary to be formed, as well as hymns and prayers that focus on Eastern liturgies.

There are manuscripts from 1501 that are in the Munich library, where reference is made to the rosary, its origin that is related to the Order of Saint Benedict, which was consolidated in the work of the Order of the Carthusians that expanded by action of the Dominicans.

On the other hand, monasteries were asked to declare the 150 psalms, which are related to David’s psalter, which was already recited by the Jews from the beginning. Specifically in the monastic Breviary.

However, the devotees who did not know how to read because they were not priests or monks, were taught a simpler way of practicing it, where 150 Hail Marys are recited. This process is called the Psalter of the Virgin.

Developing

The development and expansion of the rosary began in the thirteenth century, just in opposition to the beginning of an Albigensian movement. In it, the Albigensians did not consider any dogma related to the Virgin Mary to be important, which is why they did not consider it correct to venerate her.

That is why they start religious clashes between Albigensians and Catholics. Domingo de Guzmán, who founded the Order of Preachers, known as the Dominicans, who promoted their missions to the primitive prayer of the Christian rosary.

It should be mentioned that an order of Dominican preachers have their devotion that became popular because they generate the appearance of brotherhoods. What is related to miracles related to the subject. Despite this, his devotion declined during the fourteenth century, however the preachers continued to promote his belief.

In relation to the Hail Mary, it is important to indicate that the second half of the prayer that is known today was made in the fourteenth century. However, it became universal at the time that Pope Pius V promulgated it with the Roman Breviary. This took care of ordering that it be prayed at the beginning of each hour during the Divine Office, after the Our Father.

Battle of Lepanto

The battle of Lepanto had as a consequence that the Catholic Church celebrated every year the festival of the prayer of the Christian rosary. This is because Pope Pius V attributed the victory that the Christians achieved against the Turks, where the Virgin Mary interceded with the prayer of the Christian rosary.

This festival takes place on October 7, it was called Our Lady of Victory, but it was Gregory XIII who changed it to Our Lady of the Rosary. It is important to mention that the public Christian rosaries that emerged in Seville in 1690 show devotion to the Virgin Mary.

These ways of connecting with religion spread rapidly throughout Spain and also throughout the American colonies. They concentrated on being courtships preceded by a cross. That is why this form of devotion was the best representation in Seville that was seen in the eighteenth century. They concentrated on expanding Hail Marys and the mysteries.

On Sundays and holidays these prayers were performed, just at dawn or at dawn. At the beginning they came from men but for the first third of the 18th century they began with the first Christian rosaries with women, who were in charge of going out for the holidays in the afternoon. (Learn more about where God is )

Catholic tradition

According to Catholic tradition in the year 1917, precisely in Fatima in Portugal, it is related that three shepherd children witnessed the appearance of the Virgin Mary, who took care of revealing to them that each Hail Mary prayed is equal to the offering of a rose.

This implies that the prayer of a Christian rosary forms a crown of roses, this concept was mentioned before by Luis María Grignion de Montfort, because he created a work called the Admirable Secret of the Holy Rosary.

On October 16, 2002, he witnessed the words of Pope John Paul II where the Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae is promulgated, in which five new mysteries are added to the Christian rosaries that generate luminous mysteries.
