Best Answer

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.

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.
