Saint Dominic did not invent the Rosary, but he is commonly credited with popularizing and promoting its use as a prayer tool. The Rosary is a form of prayer that has evolved over time, with its origins dating back to the early Middle Ages. Saint Dominic and his followers helped spread devotion to the Rosary in the 13th century.
The rosary predates St. Dominic by many years so he did not "invent" it or receive it. He did, however, encourage the praying of the rosary.
No one really invented the rosary- it was given to St. Dominic by the Virgin Mary. . The rosary is very old, we do not really know how old, but we do know that the traditional Dominican rosary that is most commonly said nowadays has been associated with the Dominican Order for over four hundred years. Pious legend has it that it was given to St. Dominic by Our Lady, as mentioned above, but this has never been proven.
Mary is believed to have given Saint Dominic the rosary as a powerful tool for spiritual warfare and prayer. She instructed him to use it to combat heresies and bring about conversions through the prayers and meditations associated with the different mysteries of the rosary. The rosary became a popular devotion in the Catholic Church, attributed to the intercession of Mary.
