How to Pray the Holy Rosary
There are four sets of mysteries in the rosary and are divided into five decades. The first contains joyful mysteries (recited on Mondays and Saturdays); the second, the mysteries of light or luminous mysteries (Thursdays); the third, the sorrowful mysteries (Tuesdays and Fridays); and the fourth, the glorious mysteries (Wednesdays and Sundays). To help memory, the prayers are counted on a string of beads.
The Rosary is made up of praying twenty decades (groups of ten) of Hail Marys, each introduced by the Lord's Prayer (Our Father) and finished with the Glory Be. Each decade is connected with a mystery, a meditation on an important event or moment in the life of Jesus or Mary.
