Rosary is a prayer, so Christian can pray anytime they want to during their life, including Lent.
Not all Christians use a rosary but many Roman Catholic Christians do.
Rosary beads are used in prayer by Catholics to keep track of the prayers they are saying. Each bead represents a specific prayer, such as the Our Father or Hail Mary. The person holding the rosary beads moves from one bead to the next while reciting the prayers. This helps them focus on their prayers and meditate on the mysteries of the rosary.
No only Catholics. But honestly it doesn't matter if you use the rosary or not, just the relationship between you and your God. :)
A rosary may have stones, beads, or knots. Basically anything that you can use to keep track of your prayers and meditations. A decade is one Our Father, and ten Hail Mary's. The rosary that most people have in their pockets are actually just 1/4 of the entire rosary, so they have five decades for 55 beads. The little string on the end has a Crucifix, one Our Father bead, and 3 Hail Mary beads so the normal rosary would have 59 beads.
Hindus use incense sticks, candles and rosary beads.
