In spite of centuries of evolution and change, the Rosary's Irish origins are still evident.
The number of Hail Marys in the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious mysteries still total 150 - the exact number of psalms chanted by the early Irish monks in their monasteries, and answered by the faithful Irish outside in a responsorial pattern that became today's most popular form of devotion.
What began as 150 rocks in a bag and then 150 knots in a rope is now one of the most beautiful devotion icons.
