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.
