The rosary is made up of 59 beads. If you look at a normal rosary, there are five groups of beads that consist of a tight string of 10 beads with single beads in-between. Each decade begins on the single bead where an "Our Father" is said. Next, a "Hail Mary" is said on each of the 10 beads. Finally, a "Glory Be" is said on the single bead following the 10 beads as well as the customary "Fatima prayer - O My Jesus". This, just accomplished, is considered a decade of the rosary. The process is then repeated, starting with another "Our Father" on the bead you just said the "Glory Be" and "O My Jesus" prayer.

What is a 15 decade Rosary used for?
Traditionally, the Rosary consisted of three mysteries concerning the life of Christ: The Joyful Mysteries, the Sorrowful Mysteries and the Glorious Mysteries. Each Mystery has five meditations assigned to it, during which the person prays an Our Father, 10 Hail Mary's and a Glory Be on the beads - this sequence is known as a "decade of the Rosary". If you pray an entire 15 decade Rosary that means you have pondered all 3 mysteries through the 5 meditations for each mystery which totals 15 decades. Recently, the pope added one more mystery, the Luminous Mysteries with 5 more meditations, so technically this now makes a full Rosary a 20 decade Rosary. The Rosary devotion dates back to the time of St. Dominic who was given it by the Blessed Virgin Mary as a powerful devotion to her for the asking of powerful graces, especially those of converting heretics.

When visiting the sick and dying it is very common to say a decade of the Rosary with them or for them and to give them a rosary if they do not have one.
