The Rosary (from Latin rosarium, meaning "rose garden" or "garland of roses" is a popular traditional Roman Catholic devotion. The term denotes both a set of prayer beads and the devotional prayer itself, which combines vocal (or silent) prayer and meditation. The prayers consist of repeated sequences of the Lord's Prayer followed by ten recitations of the Hail Mary and a single recitation of "Glory Be to the Father"; each of these sequences is known as a decade. The recitation of each decade is accompanied by meditation on one of the Mysteries of the Rosary, which are events in the lives of Jesus Christ and his mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To make a rosary, you will need the following materials:
59 Beads
3 Jump Rings
1 Y-Connector or Rosary Center
59 Eye Pins
1 Cross or Crucifix with Bail
8 Inches of Chain
One Pair Rosary Pliers or Round Nose Pliers and Side Cutting Pliers
The first step in making a Rosary is assembling the necessary parts.
Step 1
Pick up one of the eye pins and insert it as far as it will go through one of the beads. Then with round nose pliers, bend the straight portion of the wire over at right angles as shown in the sketch.
Note that the bend must be as close to the bead as you can make it.
Step 2
Create an eye with the bend side. The two eyes should be at right angles to each other.
This is the basic process in making a Rosary.
Now, put the pins through all 59 of the beads and form eyes on each one as above, leaving the new eyes open for connecting.
Step 3
Pick up two of the beads and hook the new eye of the first one through the original eye of the second.
This is the first step in assembling the Rosary.
Close the eye.
Using the method described above, assemble five groups of ten and one group of three. You will have 6 beads remaining for connecting to pieces of chain.
Step 4
Cutting the chain is next. Fourteen pieces are required, each two to five links long as preferred. In cutting the chain, be careful to have exactly the same number of links in each of your fourteen pieces.
Step 5
Open one of the small jump rings. Slip the jump ring through one of the upper openings in the centerpiece and one section of the chain and close it.
Step 6
The final assembly consists of joining together the various parts as shown in the picture.
Before making the final assembly of the long bead chain and the centerpiece, hold the bead chain up by one end and let it dangle freely. Then when you attach the free end of the centerpiece, see that there are no twists in the bead chain.
Be sure when you are assembling that every eye is completely closed.
