The English word bead is derived from the Old English bede, which means, a prayer. The earliest known use of beads in prayer goes back to early 10,000 BC. Throughout the centuries different cultures have continued to make beads from various materials including stone, gem, glass, bone, shells and clay. The exact origins of strings of prayer beads remain uncertain, but their early use is recorded in multiple cultures throughout history. In this course you will learn the history of the Rosary. You will also learn prayers for your rosary and how to pray with your rosary. And last but not least, how to do a witch's cross.
