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.
fifty decades
Praying the rosary is a necklace type thing with many beads on it. there are 5 decades. every decade symbolizes one of the mysteries. the rosary is meant to be prayed to Mary the mother of God.
The Rosary typically consists of 20 decades, with a prayer for each bead on the rosary. Each decade includes the Our Father, 10 Hail Marys, and a Glory Be, usually taking about 1-2 pages to recite.
Only three decades in that century saw real political progress. I was embarrassed when I hiccupped after two decades of the rosary.
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. The rosary that most people have in their pockets are actually just 1/4 of the entire rosary, so they have five decades for 55 beads. The little string on the end has a Crucifix, one Our Father bead, and 3 Hail Mary beads so the normal rosary would have 59 beads.
