Rosary: Use

The rosary usually consists of 33 or 100 knots, however it can be even larger with 200 or 300 knots.

It is an indispensable prayer aid for monks, clergy and  laity. Specifically, every time a prayer is said (usually short) we count a knot.  Thus, the number of repetitions or the passage of time can be controlled.

According to Christian tradition, rosaries have their origin in Saint Pachomius in 320 AD. Specifically, the Saint began to look for some way that would help the monks in concentration during  prayer.  Then the Archangel Gabriel visited him in his sleep and showed him how to make the tool that would serve the needs of prayer. This is how the rosary was created as a gift from God to people.
