The Story of the Rosary by Anne Vail
A companion book to David Konstant's "Praying the Rosary". It tells how the Rosary developed over the centuries into the form we know today. Beginning with the adoption of the rose as the symbol for Our Lady, this book traces the growth in popularity of collections of prayers or "roses" in her honour. These eventually came to be counted by beads. Later in history, particular prayers began to be associated with the Rosary based on the "Mysteries" of the New Testament. Later still, meditation also became a feature. This book contains much historical detail about the tradition of devotion to Our Lady.| SKU | Unavailable |
