How do we pray the rosary?
St. Dominic!
Dominic was a priest who founded the Dominican order in the year 1215. The
Dominican priests live very simple & prayful lives.
Dominic received a vision from Our Lady who showed him a wreath of roses,
representing the rosary. She told him to say the rosary daily, teach it to all who would
listen, and eventually the true faith would win out. Dominic was one of the first people
to begin to pray the rosary. He spread devotion to it and used it to strengthen his
spiritual life.
