According to the Church, the Rosary was originally given to St. Dominic in 1214 by the Blessed Virgin Mary Herself as a means of fighting heresy and encouraging devotion to her patronage. Over the centuries prayer beads had already been used, but this codified the devotion into a specific form and expression. Over the centuries the Rosary organically developed into a much grander and involved prayer and became the hallmark of Catholic devotion to Mary.
