I purchased a 9 bead chaplet with a Saint Michael medal from this website and am very happy with the quality and appearance. They do absolutely beautiful work. I just finished using it for a Novena this week. Peace
I have just returned from a Pilgrimage through Italy and purchased what I thought was a rosary, but now I see that there are only 3 beads in each section. Is this a novena rosary and if so how do I pray it?
It seems like you may have bought some kind of chaplet, perhaps?
Chaplets are generally used to pray to the angels or saints, asking for their intercession.
Here is a link to the Catholic company website that sells both Rosaries and Chaplets, just so that you can take a look at them for a matter of comparing them, to see what they look like, to see if yours happens to be on this website.
If you can’t find yours, then I would ask your pastor/parish priest to help you identify yours.
