In Russia, rosaries have been used since ancient times. The main purpose of a rosary is to count out parts of a prayer or ritual actions (for example, bows), to focus attention during a long prayer, and sometimes to set a rhythm when reading. Usually, a rosary is a wool or silk thread on which beads are strung (they can be created from a variety of materials — from seeds and seeds of various plants, to semiprecious and precious stones — amber, pearls, Jasper, etc.), but there are also rosaries made of knots. Rosaries come in a variety of lengths - from beads a couple of meters long, to small thimble rings. Most often, rosaries have a closed circular design, but there are types of rosaries with free ends, such as the Irish rosary.
The most ancient rosary known to the modern world was created in India and dates back to about the second Millennium BC. Until now, it is not known for sure who introduced the rosary into use in Christianity — various sources indicate either Saint Pachomius or Saint Anthony. This happened around the fourth century ad. According to one version, the rosary was created for illiterate monks who do not know how to count, so that it was easier for them to measure the number of prayers and bows. Over time, the rosary became an indispensable attribute of all monks, priests and lay believers.
Rosaries of different Christian denominations differ in appearance and purpose. For example, classical Orthodox rosaries (also called "vervitsa") are woven from a cord and consist of 100 (or 50) knots divided into decades. Very popular rosary consisting of 33 beads (according to the number of earthly years of the life of Christ), strung on a closed thread in a ring. The rosary is crowned with a cross, supplemented with a brush "resurrection".
Do not forget that the modern Orthodox Christian in order to pray on the rosary, you need to get the blessing of your Confessor.
Catholic rosaries or rosaries are 50 beads divided into decades, collected on a closed chain, topped with a cross. The rosary is also called the prayer that is recited on these rosaries.
Among other things, the rose garden is a popular accessory for fashionistas around the world — it is worn as a necklace, combining with a variety of styles. Rosary of amber can be a great alternative to the usual classic beads in cases when you want to add an element of originality to the image. The Muslim rosary (subha, Misbah, Tasbih, also called the "whip for Satan") in the classic version consists of 99 beads strung on a closed silk thread - according to the number of names of Allah. Often there are models of 33 or 66 beads. Since the Muslim prayer consists of 11 parts, the beads are divided into groups of 11 pieces, separated from each other by a spacer different in shape or material. The rosary is supplemented with a pendant and a brush. Despite the occasional controversy about the use of rosaries by Muslims (the prophet Muhammad did not use them himself), many works and books have been written by Islamic scholars and priests in support of the ritual use of the rosary. The Buddhist rosary is also called Mala or tengwa, and has been known in history since the third century. As a rule, Buddhist rosaries contain 108 beads, divided by spacers into groups of 36 pieces. The number 108 in this case symbolizes the number of desires that darken the spirit of a person. Also, Buddhist rosaries may differ from each other in various additional elements that inform about a particular type of mantras practiced by their owner. Buddhist rosaries are forbidden to pass to someone else (except in cases when the rosary is passed from teacher to student), as they become a kind of talisman and talisman for their owner.
In Buddhism, special importance is given to the materials from which the rosary is made. Some contribute to longevity, others help to find wisdom and calm, and others drive away evil spirits. Rosaries created from natural Baltic amber are credited with the ability to neutralize negative energy, calm the person, stabilize the emotional state and adjust to a peaceful mood. There is an opinion that sorting beads in a rosary not only helps with religious rituals, but also helps to find peace of mind and peace, helps to relieve stress and fight insomnia, and also has a positive impact on human health in General. When sorting through the rosary, the fingertips are massaged, involving nerve endings associated with many organs. Rosaries help with arthritis, have a positive effect on the development of finger motor skills, and stabilize blood pressure. Rosaries created from natural amber have another remarkable property — when sorting the beads, the smallest amber pollen is released, which penetrates through the skin into the body and has a wide range of effects — from helping to treat thyroid diseases, to fighting migraines and depressive States.
