Rosary Day 3340
Today is Rosary Day 
It's actually rather difficult to find photos of non-Christian rosaries! I've done my best - though Rosary Day seems to be mostly about the Western, decade-style of beads, there are other types of rosaries in the world, such as the chanting beads in the East.
According to the 4th ed. of the Eastminster Critical Edition of our Scriptures:
"This day celebrates the institution of the Rosary, the system of meditation and perfect devotion which attunes our spiritual being to the Universal Mystery, by our Lady. Everyone, even those with whom it is not a regular practice, should make [pray] a Rosary on this day. Handmaids and Servants of the Sacred Rose, and others who normally say a daily Rosary, should make [pray] the full Rosary of fifteen decades. A single rose may be placed in the shrine or before an image of our Lady in token of the rose-garden which the Rosary represents." (Appendix B, pg 240)
If you aren't used to saying a rosary, and don't know what to say, there are many places to help you - here are just a few!
