The rosary and the crucifix are use to remind us about JESUS'S teaching when he said who ever wants to follow him must carry the CROSS. Since the Cross symbolizes suffering. To be strong when problems come to us. Its only through suffering can you be saved.

Why do catholics kiss the cross when stating the rosary?

Roman Catholic answer:Of course you can replace the cross on a rosary. The only thing that might be a factor is the blessing. When something is broken, it normally loses its blessing. A fixed altar, for instance, if it is moved in anyway, would lose its consecration. If you remove the crucifix from a blessed rosary, it would lose its blessing and have to be blessed again when you replace the crucifix.


How many beads does a wedding rosary have?

The Wedding rosary is actually two individual and complete rosaries which meet and become one before the crucifix. Each rosary has 5 decades, each has its own center and pendant beads of 3 Aves and 2 Paters, then meet at the 3rd center to drop down into another series of 3 Aves's and 2 Paters before reaching the crucifix. As part of the ceremony to symbolize unity, a large loop of rosary beads or a lasso (lazo or lazzo) is placed in a figure eight shape around the necks of the couple after they have exchanged their vows.

What does a fake rosary look like?

I have never seen or heard of a fake rosary. There are little rosaries that are called chaplets for praying to patron saints. They look like a rosary but might have a different medal instead of a crucifix or a different number of beads on it. It is used the same as a rosary, for praying to a patron saint for help or to meditate in prayer to that saint. Chaplets exist for Saints like St. Patrick, St. Teresa, Divine Mercy, St. Michael, etc. You can buy them at most religious stores.


How many stones are on a rosary?

A rosary may have stones, beads, or knots. Basically anything that you can use to keep track of your prayers and meditations. A decade is one Our Father, and ten Hail Mary's. The rosary that most people have in their pockets are actually just 1/4 of the entire rosary, so they have five decades for 55 beads. The little string on the end has a Crucifix, one Our Father bead, and 3 Hail Mary beads so the normal rosary would have 59 beads.
