WALT: Understand more about the Rosary
October is the Month of Mary and so as we are a
Catholic School we have been praying the Rosary in our school. You may not have
heard of the Rosary or know much about it, this blog post will hopefully inform
you about the Rosary.
Who created it?
The Rosary was given to St. Dominic in a vision of
blessed Virgin Mary.
When did it start?
Less than clear and subject to debate among scholars.
The use of knotted prayer ropes in Christianity goes back to the 3rd and early
4th century.
Where did it originate?
The history is vast but prayer bead are believed to
have originated in India in 8th Century BC.
Why did it originate?
In the Middle Ages people started praying the Our
Father and the Hail Mary with prayer beads. The practice of meditation during
prayers of the Hail Mary was attributed to Dominic of Prussia.
What do the Rosary Beads mean?
The beads count the prayers as they are said aloud or
in the mind. There are 50 beads, with 5 decades (see beside).
The Mysteries
There are twenty mysteries in the Rosary. They are
split into 4 groups of five: The Joyful Mysteries (on Monday and Saturday),
Luminous Mysteries (Thursday), Sorrowful Mysteries (Tuesday and Friday) and
Glorious Mysteries (Wednesday and Sunday). However, in our class we only pray
on mystery a day and only do a decade, otherwise it would take us 35 minutes or
more to pray.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your learning about the Rosary. You are right, I didn't know much about the Rosary so have learnt lots by reading your post. It is fascinating that the Rosary originated in the 3rd or early 4th century. I bet you are pleased that you only do one decade - 35 minutes is a long time to sit still! Did you all learn something new about the Rosary too?

ReplyDeleteThis post is very well made! At first when I clicked I had no idea what "Rosary" was. But this post has taught me a new religion. But you could have added a bit more detail. But still it's an amazing post! I hope to hear back from you - Lucas

ReplyDeleteI really love your blog post.
I think that putting in your beliefs in your school is amazing.
I find it inspiring that you talk to us about your religion in your blog post.

ReplyDeleteThis blog post is really nice and very informative about a religious practicing. Although I am not particularly religious I do like hearing about religions and their practices. Some of the parts don't quite sound right but I understand what you mean but maybe revise your work a bit and maybe get someone else to read it with you and get their feedback as well but otherwise it is a great blog post and very interesting. ~Leah
