A type of prayer beads with a cross attached to the bottom; the main length of the rosary has five "decades" of ten beads punctuated with larger Gloria beads. Used in the Roman Catholic Church as part of a meditation ritual where the user prays to Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. The prayer recites a series of various prayers commonly used in the religion such as the Hail Mary, the Lord's Prayer, and/or the Gloria.
Must have beads and either a cross or a crucifix. If no beads are present, tag with cross necklace; conversely if no cross is present, tag with the related prayer beads. Bonus points if it's held in the hand or worn on the belt.
When written with an uppercase, the Rosary refers to the series of prayers. When written with a lowercase, the rosary refers to the beads. For Danbooru's purposes, this tag refers to the bead strand.
