The Rosary is a traditional Catholic prayer (also prayed by some Anglicans/Episcopalians) in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary. While praying the Rosary, it is customary to contemplate certain key events in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, which Catholics call the "mysteries" (the Incarnation, the Nativity, Jesus' Crucifixion, the Resurrection, for example), while reciting the Hail Mary, and the Our Father. The Rosary is not worship or adoration of the Mother of God (such prayer belongs to God alone) but rather a veneration or honoring of Mary for her faithfulness to God's plan for her and her cooperation in the saving mission of her Son.
The Rosary is associated with Catholicism as a whole. It's most famous promoters have always been the Dominicans. When St. Dominic went to preach to the Albigensian heretics in southern France, he was having no success. In despair he prayed to the Blessed Virgin Mary for help with these heretics, and she gave him the Rosary. It was during this period that he established the Order of Preachers (the Dominicans) (1215) in order to devote themselves to the conversion of heretics.
