The Rosary, regarded as a crown of 150 knots, was in use among the first hermits, who not being able to recite the Davidic Psalter, usually to say by their masters, 150 recited "Our Father" in place consists of the 150 psalms in the Psalter that. To avoid mistakes in numbering, used to pass between the fingers the different nodes, broken down by dozens, made on a small cord, which is supposed carried down the left side of the belt that held her to life as long as we see today For example, acting within the Franciscan order.
But the Rosary as we know, is a devotion that has a supernatural origin. Around the year 1212 as the Church was troubled by the spread of the Albigensian heresy, S. Dominic, who with S. Francis of Assisi undertook with zeal for the good of the Mystical Body of Christ trying to stem it and prayed to the Madonna show him the most appropriate way, giving this appeared, with his own hand, a crown of 15 dozens of small spheres regularly divided by 15 grains larger. Explaining how they should use clearly said: "Rosarium Praedica meum, nam haec precandi ERIT unique formula to evertendas haereses, vitia Extinguo, virtutes promovendas, Of Misericordiam implorandam, magnum ac in Ecclesia singular Praesidium (preach my Rosary, the prayer will be the only suitable defeat heresies, to extinguish the defects, to promote virtue, to implore God's mercy, and will be great singular defense in the Church). " And the prophecy occurred immediately. The S. Rosary preached by St. Dominic and his brothers worked incredible wonders foremost among them the triumph of Catholicism Albigensian heresy. His devotees also had benefited from very special thanks, healed the sick, possessed delivered, raised the dead, converted heretics, sinners repented, fire extinguished, sedate storms, thunderstorms dissipated.
So it quickly became the Rosary devotion spread throughout the world and was considered as the sign characteristic of every Catholic that did not accord much use, it is not welcomed in schools, workshops and even the army if not those who professed his devotion to wear visibly the crown, custom remains today in some religious orders. The wealthy made substantial offers to keep the preachers dle Rosario, to distribute to the poor and the crowns to celebrate solemnly the feast, not forgetting the very broad which was enriched with indulgences by Popes.
Another brilliant victory be attributed to the Catholic Rosary is the battle that was fought in the Gulf of Lepanto against the Turks, October 7, 1571 and the heavenly intervention was so obvious as to lead the Republic of Venice to write in his log: "Do not vires, no weapon, no duces, sed Maria Rosario fecis nos Victores (no forces, no weapons, not masters, but Maria del Rosario made us winners) and determined the Pope S. Pius V established the first Sunday in October, the feast of Our Lady of Victory, which later Gregory XIII named the Holy Rosary.
