In the Roman Catholic and some Anglican churches it refers to a series of prayers consisting of 150 Ave Marias (Hail Marys) and 15 Paternosters (Lord's Prayers) and Gloria Patris, or to a string of 165 beads for keeping count of these prayers; it is linked with the adoration of the Virgin Mary.

| This Second Edition has been revised and expanded to include new material, including a chapter on the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary, and a new appendix called "Biblical Theology and Marian Studies"--on the scriptural basis of the dogmas concerning Mary.
