Hand-crafted in the traditional Catholic 5 decade style, this extra long (22") rosary is made with silver chain, red painted wood beads, 2 red acrylic skulls and a 1.8" detailed crucifix.
The praying of the rosary is started on the short strand, with the sign of the cross on the Crucifix followed by reciting the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer at the first large bead, three Hail Marys on the next three beads (for faith, hope and charity), then the Glory Be to the Father on the next large bead. The praying of the decades then follows.
Repeat the following cycle for each mystery:
Announce the mystery, the Our Father on the large bead, the Hail Mary on each of the adjacent ten small beads, the Glory Be to the Father; (The Fatima Prayer is commonly added here, as a pious addition: "O My Jesus, Forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to Heaven. Especially those most in need of thy mercy.")
End with the Hail Holy Queen prayer.
