According to pious Catholic tradition, in the 13th century, Mary, the mother of God, appeared to St. Dominic de Guzman, gave him a rosary and asked that instead of praying the Psalms on the beads or knots, the faithful pray the Hail Mary, Our Father, and the Glory be. Fifteen decades made up the original Dominican rosary, but it was later abbreviated (a decade refers to ten Hail Mary's preceded by the Our Father and ending with the Glory Be). Today most Catholics use the 5 decade Rosary.
