Honey, you can wear a hat to a rosary if you want, but just make sure it's not bigger than your future and doesn't block anyone's view of the saintly proceedings. Some folks might say it's disrespectful, but as long as you're there to pay your respects and not auditioning for a fashion show, you should be fine. Just remember, the real focus should be on the prayers, not your headgear.
Well, it is better than putting it in your pocket where it might fall out or get all dirty with all the stuff in your pocket. A lot ofpeople say you shouldn't but I feel it is a better option than storing it in your pocket, and why would they make a rosary in a necklace form if it weren't supposed to worn around the neck? Also, people wear those small ten beaded bracelet rosaries and I have never heard any criticisms against that. Personally, I think it is okay to wear a rosary as long as you don't wear it as a decoration or accessory.
The rosary is meant for prayer, it isn't jewelry. You could wear a cross necklace; and it is okay to wear a cross necklace if it is blessed too. So the answer is NO. Most Catholics would be offended if you wear the Rosary, but not because you are not Catholic, but because the Rosary is NOT meant to be worn. Rosary beads are a sacred tool used for prayer and worship. They may be beautiful, but they are not to be worn as jewelry. It is acceptable to wear a rosary only if you wear it out of devotion to Christ and Mary. It just so happens to appear to be jewelry. I wear my rosary only so i can have Mary close to my heart at all times, there is no doctrine of the Catholic Church forbidding it so as long as it is out of devotion and not for the sake of vanity then it is okay Whether Catholics consider it acceptable for Catholics to wear a rosary depends on the cultural context. It would only be suitable for a non-Catholic to wear a rosary in a culture that permits Catholics to wear one, and then it would only be suitable if the non-Catholic had some sort of appropriate devotion to it. The only time I have ever seen a habit worn normally is by a religious (priest, brother, nun, or sister). In this case, the rosary hangs from their belt on the side so that it is always within reach when you wish to pray. In this day and age, I have seen a few people wearing a rosary around their neck. As noted above, the rosary is NOT jewelry, if you wish to wear a rosary around your neck, I would recommend that you wear it under your clothing as many Catholics would be offended by people wearing a rosary as a necklace.
Certainly. The rosary is a sacramental, but it is also an instrument. Like any instrument it is able to be shared amongst those that wish to share it. A rosary loses nothing from use. It is not okay to buy a rosary, for once a sacramental is blessed it cannot be sold, but it can certainly be given as a gift or borrowed.
i will wear the hat!
You can wear any hat.
Of course not! Jaden Smith wears an array of colorful jeans and stuff, but he doesn't wear his hat on his pants. He wears his hat on his head while his braids flow underneath!
A hat?
The rosary intended to be used during prayer and meditation and not as jewlery. Someone who wears a rosary to have it handy to use in prayer or so it wouldn't get lost is fine. When I was a child, nuns would wear a rosary around their neck - but it was there for them to use in prayer/meditation and not as a fashion statement. Some people say it's a sin to wear a rosary because misusing a prayer tool as a fashioto make a fashipn statement is disrespectful.
A Rosary
Its called topi. When Muslims pray, men do not but if they do wear a hat/topi they get sawab. Sawab means good. Women have to cover there body and head. Men is okay if they do not wear topi's. &... I am Muslim<3
its okay. just put some pudding on it
If you want to wear a Rosary, you may wear it in any way you please. It's a free country. However, be aware that a Rosary is not jewelry.A Rosary is an aid to prayer and a powerful symbol used to recall the events in Jesus's life, Think of how people described stained-glass windows in the Middle ages, "the poor man's Bible."Would you buy a Jewish yarmulke and ask a Rabbi if it's okay to mount a propeller on it so you can wear it to a costume party?If you you drape a Rosary around your neck or your wrist, you are displaying ignorance of other people's religion, mocking--aping--their faith and prayers, and needlessly insulting them and their religion.How do you wear a Rosary? I would be surprised if a Catholic would wear a rosary, unless the Catholic were completely ignorant of the basic elements of his or her religion.But if you have the misguided idea that you are paying tribute to the Catholic religion by aping it, let me ask you a question that may shed light on your behavior. Would you go to a Jewish synagogue during services, sit down in front of the Rabbi, wearing phylacteries around your neck like a necklace, or wearing a prayer shawl as a necktie? Even if you insisted you had only the best of intentions, you would look like a fool, no one would believe you, and no one would be any the less insulted.Wear your Rosary if you like. It's a free country, as I said.You might consider finding a priest to ask him to bless the Rosary, which is traditionally what Catholics do before they begin using the Rosary. The blessing is a prayer that sets the Rosary apart for religious purposes, and then the priest asks God to bless the people who use the Rosary to pray, and bless the people they pray for. And then think why you're wearing the Rosary..Answer from a CatholicThe way to wear a rosary is to join an Religious Order, like the Dominicans, of which the rosary is part of their Habit that they wear attached to their belt. Some people find it very offensive if you are not wearing a religious habit of which the rosary on the belt is part. If you are not Catholic and you are just wearing them for decoration, then, yes, it is extremely offensive to a fervent Catholic to see the Mother of God's holy rosary treated like a fashion accessory by someone who has no more interest in praying with it and doesn't even know what it is for.
