Rosary beads are an aid to prayer, not usually worn as jewelry. You can use the beads to help you keep track of any prayers, as well as just for meditation. There is no specific “meaning” of a rosary bead, but the large ones are generally to keep track of the “Our Father” and the 3 small ones together for 3 “Hail Mary” prayers. Peace and blessings.

Few Christians that aren’t Catholic feel comfortable with Marion devotion, the rosary is a sacramental and many devout Catholics are offended by people wearing them (especially when inappropriately “framed” by an immodest display of the cleavage) I myself am not offended but usually seize the opportunity to start up a conversation… “Oh, you’re a Catholic I see?” be prepared to know what it actually is and how it is used, of course always at the ready to clear up any misconception that the device is used to offer adoration (Latria) to Mary, who is an icon of the faith… not an idol. Idolatry is forbidden for Catholics in their catechism and anyone praying a Rosary should have it clear in their mind that Mary is not God.

Christian Prayer Beads

Catholics are Catholics…
Christians are Christians…
The beliefs of the two religions are very different! Christians do not pray to Mary because she did not die for our sins and then rise again on the third day. She has no power. Sorry This was for the first guy to post..
As for the rosary beads, Christians do not wear them. The 2nd commandment of God was ‘You shall not make for yourself a carved image–any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. We do not need ANYTHING to pray but our mouths. You don’t have to wear anything or pray a certain way or say hail mary to pray to God. You can simply talk to him wherever you are, just as if He was sitting next to you.
God is Love…you don’t have to wear beads or pray to mary or anything special. It all depends on the relationship you have with Him! You can talk to him while your walking down the street, or while your in the shower or while your eating.

Rosary beads are only worn by Christians. Catholics ARE Christians.

Madonna wore rosary beads and she was a Christian.

it isnt very common for christians to wear rosaries since they are part of what is used in a prayer for the virgin mary, who they dont adore as much as catholics.

Rosaries should not be worn, ever.

catholic is the only branch of christianity that wears rosary beads.
