holy rosary

Catholic devotional loop

The holy rosary is a Roman Catholic devotional practice combining prayer with meditation on events from the lives of Jesus and Mary.

It involves reciting specific prayers—Our Fathers, Hail Marys, and Glorys—while moving through a string of beads that keeps count.

The term also refers to the beads themselves.

She prayed the holy rosary every evening.
