and

The Five Luminous Mysteries

As a child in Ireland in the '50s and 60s I prayed the Rosary many, many times. I have never heard of the "luminous" mysteries until now, when I checked to see if my memory was correct on a detail.

A rosary may have stones, beads, or knots. Basically anything that you can use to keep track of your prayers and meditations. A decade is one Our Father, and ten Hail Mary's.
