Why is there no crucifix on the Anglican rosary?
All Anglican Prayer Beads or Anglican Rosaries contain a cross but some also have a crucifix.A crucifix (from Latin cruci fixus meaning "(one) fixed to a cross") is a three-dimensional cross with a representation of Jesus' body, the "corpus" nailed to the cross.Usually known as the "Anglican rosary," or sometimes "Christian prayer beads," or "ecumenical prayer beads," Anglican prayer beads are a loop of strung beads which Anglicans and other Christians use as a focus for prayer. Anglican prayer beads were developed in the mid-1980s by Episcopalians participating in a study group dealing with methods of prayer.Anglican prayer bead sets consist of thirty-three beads divided into groups. There are four groups of seven beads with additional single beads separating the groups. The number thirty-three signifies the number of years that Christ lived on the Earth, while the number seven signifies wholeness or completion in the faith, the days of creation and the number four signifies the seasons of the Church year.
Do Christians use any equipment to pray?
Christians do not require any "equipment" when praying. However, some Catholic Christians use the rosary. Both Catholic and Orthodox Christians are more likely than Protestants to use visual representations of Jesus and the saints in their worship, although Protestants often have an (empty) cross in their places of worship as a symbol of Jesus' death and resurrection.
Is the rosary idolatry?
Speaking as a non-Catholic: As an evangelical Anglican, I actually never use a rosary as an aid for prayer as this device is more in keeping with the Roman Catholic tradition, although I can very much see the use of such a device in prayer. The beads on the rosary represent various prayers and statements of faith, and, by 'saying' the rosary one can be sure that prayers are said without any being 'forgotten'. Idolatry is the worship of anything that is not God - be it a golden calf, a statue, or even your car, holiday home in the Seychelles, or the Lottery. I cannot imagine any Catholic 'worshipping' the rosary as an object in itself; the rosary is simply an aid to prayer which some Christians find useful, and, therefore, using it cannot be classed as idolatry. The only danger with the rosary is that, unless one makes a conscious effort to ensure that prayer comes from the heart, there is a temptation to 'go through the motions' in saying the rosary, so that prayer becomes mechanical and superficial. As long as the rosary is kept well in its place as an aid to personal, devotional and sincere prayer then there is nothing wrong with using it - and it is certainly not idolatrous - and, in fact, used in the right way it can enhance prayer a great deal.
Does a rosary have to be blessed before you can use it?
It's just a matter of belief. Most people bless the Rosary before using it. There is no harm even if you use the Rosary without getting it blessed.
