Proper way to pray the Rosary

[danielglynn66]

If you are going to say the entire Rosary (all 20 mysteries) in one sitting, do you repeat the Apostles Creed and etc. before each set of 5 and hold the Hail Holy Queen til after the 20th mystery? Or do you start at the Apostles Creed before every set of 5? Thanks in advance.

I’ve never done 20 in one sitting, but I once had a 15 decade rosary and have sometimes prayed 15 decades in one sitting. Since that rosary had one crucifix, then the beads for the beginning prayers, then 15 decades on the loop, that’s how I prayed the 15 decades. I see no reason why 20 decades could not be prayed the same way regardless of the size of the particular string of beads that is used.

When my parish priest leads us in 15 decades, we say the Creed once.

I think you only do the beginninb prayers once.
