How do you use rosary beads in prayer?
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.

When was the rosary first made?
The rosary, as a form of prayer, is believed to have developed in the Middle Ages, with its origins tracing back to the 12th century. The practice of using beads to count prayers likely began with the use of the Paternoster beads, which helped the faithful keep track of their prayers. By the 15th century, the rosary as we know it today, specifically the repetition of the Hail Mary and the structure of the decades, became more formalized under the influence of the Dominican Order.
How many stones are on a rosary?
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.
What is the difference between rosary and chaplet?
The Rosary is a meditation set of prayers that are used to pray to the Virgin Mary asking for her intercession for a cause or to honor her as Jesus' Mother. It also helps you to understand the life of Christ. It is said upon a loop of beads or knots to help count and keep track of the prayers. It is not for the worship of Mary, it is honoring Her as Jesus' Mother and asking Her to guide you to Her Son. A Chaplet is a set of prayers said to a particular saint asking for intercession for a cause or guidance in your faith that are prayed upon a loop or string of beads or knots.

Some common Chaplets are for the Saints listed: Virgin Mary--Rosary St. Michael St. Patrick The Blessed Sacrament The Infant Jesus of Prague St. Therese The Divine Mercy St. Joseph Peace Chaplet
When and why did the Rosary come to be?
Rosary - History ---- It is usually suggested that the rosary began as a practice by the laity to imitate the monastic Office (Breviary or Liturgy of the Hours), by which monks prayed the 150 Psalms. The laity, many of whom could not read, substituted 50 or 150 Ave Marias for the Psalms. Sometimes a cord with counters on it was used to keep an accurate count. The first clear historical reference to the rosary, however, is from the life of St. Dominic (+1221), the founder of the Order of Preachers or Dominicans. He preached a form of the rosary in France at the time that the Albigensian heresy was devastating the faith there. Tradition has it that the Blessed Mother herself asked for the practice as an antidote for heresy and sin. One of Dominic's future disciples, Alain de Roche, began to establish Rosary Confraternities to promote the praying of the rosary. The form of the rosary we have today is believed to date from his time. Over the centuries the saints and popes have highly recommended the rosary, the greatest prayer in the Church after the Mass and Liturgy of the Hours. Not surprisingly, it's most active promoters have been Dominicans. Rosary means a crown of roses, a spiritual bouquet given to the Blessed Mother. It is sometimes called the Dominican Rosary, to distinguish it from other rosary-like prayers (e.g. Franciscan Rosary of the Seven Joys, Servite Rosary of the Seven Sorrows). It is also, in a general sense, a form of chaplet or corona (also referring to a crown), of which there are many varieties in the Church. Finally, in English it has been called "Our Lady's Psalter" or "the beads." This last derives from an Old English word for prayers (bede) and to request (biddan or bid).
