No, but there is nothing wrong with a non Catholic owning a Catholic rosary provided it is not abused. A rosary, despite some popular misconceptions, is not a piece of jewelry nor an ornament to hang from a rear view mirror.

The rosary is a much loved and venerated prayer among Catholics. But not all Catholics use this prayer. It is not considered "essential" to the Catholic faith. It is highly recommended, but not necessary. The Mass, for example, is absolutely necessary. The rosary is optional.

Is it OK for a non-Catholic to wear a Catholic symbol such as a rosary?

The rosary is meant for prayer, it isn't jewelry. You could wear a cross necklace; and it is okay to wear a cross necklace if it is blessed too. So the answer is NO. Most Catholics would be offended if you wear the Rosary, but not because you are not Catholic, but because the Rosary is NOT meant to be worn. Rosary beads are a sacred tool used for prayer and worship. They may be beautiful, but they are not to be worn as jewelry. It is acceptable to wear a rosary only if you wear it out of devotion to Christ and Mary. It just so happens to appear to be jewelry. I wear my rosary only so i can have Mary close to my heart at all times, there is no doctrine of the Catholic Church forbidding it so as long as it is out of devotion and not for the sake of vanity then it is okay Whether Catholics consider it acceptable for Catholics to wear a rosary depends on the cultural context. It would only be suitable for a non-Catholic to wear a rosary in a culture that permits Catholics to wear one, and then it would only be suitable if the non-Catholic had some sort of appropriate devotion to it. The only time I have ever seen a habit worn normally is by a religious (priest, brother, nun, or sister). In this case, the rosary hangs from their belt on the side so that it is always within reach when you wish to pray. In this day and age, I have seen a few people wearing a rosary around their neck. As noted above, the rosary is NOT jewelry, if you wish to wear a rosary around your neck, I would recommend that you wear it under your clothing as many Catholics would be offended by people wearing a rosary as a necklace.


Should I attend the rosary or the Mass for our neighbor's daughter I am not Catholic?

There is no reason why you should not attend. Non-Catholics can attend Catholic events. Personally, I would recommend that you attend, the Mass would be the Catholic equivalent of the funeral, and the Rosary would be the equivalent of the viewing.

Who uses rosarybeads?

Rosary beads are primarily used by Catholics for reciting prayers, particularly the Rosary. They help keep track of the prayers being said, with each bead representing a specific prayer or meditation. Some devout Catholics also use rosary beads for meditation and reflection on the life of Jesus and the Virgin Mary.
