I am all for discussion! If I were not then I would not have started the thread. I just think you read too much into what people say, which often is not what they were really stating. It could just be that it is hard to figure out what they mean just by reading a post, but it just seems you have a chip on your shoulder. I could be wrong and, if so, I am sorry. 🙂

As I mentioned earlier, our reisdent traditionalist is still a gentleman compared to others I have come across on this Forum. And a more erudite one than the others at that:).

But when did the first Anglican rosary appear? When did the use of a rosary start in the Episcopal Church?

Catholic rosary has been prayed in the more high church & liturgical Anglicans (Anglo-Catholics), Lutherans (Evangelical) and separated Catholics (PNCC, Old Catholics), especially of late. In fact of late, I have also noticed Orthodox & Methodists, etc praying the Catholic rosary and its use is spreading. Anglo-Catholic prayer books also include the Rosary, among other Catholic prayers.

There is also an Anglican rosary used by non-Anglo-Catholic Anglicans but I don’t think they call it that. There is no prayer to Mary or saints with no Hail Mary, etc. It is also organised differently - no decades but have something similar. I think it started in 80’s or 90’s. It is part of the movement to more liturgical forms of prayers among non-Catholic Christians.

The divisions are called “weeks”, I think; the basic organization of the beads being around Christ’s life. Your points are accurate, AFAIK. I’ve never seen one of them, though.

Thanks! Thats why I didn’t call it a rosary since its not about mary. I knew that much. And youre right, lots of us know how to pray a rosary even though we’re not catholic.
I make my own rosaries and give them away. The people I give them to are very happy for the gift. They are reaching out to the comfort of that rosary. Warms my heart that I can do that for someone. 🙂

I have one. The number of beads is 33; one for each year of Jesus’ life. The cruciform beads (those larger than the rest) are spaced so that when “opened” the cruciform beads form the shape of the cross.

I loved making rosaries and prayer beads. After my strokes it is hard to keep my hand steady so I had to give that hobby up

Someday I wont be able to either. I used to do a lot of fine beadwork, but I don’t have the eyes anymore. So the rosaries are something I can still do for a while longer. I use glass beads that I find in garage sales, and other sources. I knot them up with waxed linen, very strong. The rosaries are quite substantial and friendly for arthritic hands. Beautiful and unusual.🙂

My favorite bead was the rose wood ones. Smelled good and looked really nice
 
I have another liturgical question for Anglicans. I’ve had the pleasure of worshiping in St John the Divine cathedral here in New York. As a Lutheran, I am very familiar with the usual eucharistic and non-eucharistic vestments but some other vestments were unfamiliar. Is there an Anglican/ Episcopalians who can explain the vestments in these photos?

Very nice and good ones are hard to find. My fascination with rosaries goes way back to when I was little. I remember the nuns in the hospital and the beautiful habit rosaries they wore. Wanted to touch but couldnt.
