The rosary has roots in several early Christian prayer traditions. They share similar formats to the rosary with repetitive structures and prayers.

• Third-century Christian hermits and monks in Egypt (known as Desert Fathers) used stones and later prayer ropes to keep track when praying the 150 Psalms.
• Various forms of “the Jesus Prayer” (such as “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me.”) became popular. The short prayer was said over and over again in a type of mantra while counting beads.
• The Our Father was also prayed 150 times, using a string of beads with five decades referred to as a Paternoster (Latin for “Our Father”)
• Tradition has it that St. Dominic was given the rosary in a vision by the Blessed Virgin Mary.
• The Virgin Mary, in numerous private revelations during the past century, has encouraged the faithful to take up the daily praying of the rosary as a powerful spiritual weapon against evil.
