How to pray the rosary

The rosary is a prayer, which is one of the texts that praise the Blessed Virgin Mary. Its origins date back, until the Middle Ages.

You must have a rosary to say this prayer, that is, a string of beads, which is to facilitate the correct count of prayers.

We should begin our prayer with the sign of the cross,

Then we say the Our Father (on the first large bead) and 3 Hail Mary times (on the next ones 3, smaller).

Then we move on to the next large bead. We pray the Glory be to the Father and O my Jesus. We pass to the considerations of the appropriate one 1 mystery. After considering it, we pray the Our Father. We pass to 10 small beads. There is one Hail Mary for each. On the next big one we repeat what we did on the previous one, but with the consideration of another mystery. We end the prayer with I Believe in God.
