Sara, I do not know what you mean exactly about this `blood rose` or the connection with the film could you explain a little better.
Reply:What?
Reply:could you explain what you mean???
Reply:I'm not sure if you have any idea of it, but this question is almost entirely gibberish.



True, the spelling is acceptable, but you might wish to consider this (just for starters) the word ROSEMARY has nothing to do with either roses or mary (the mother of jesus of nazareth).



It derives from a latin root and means dew/moisture of the sea (ros = dew/moisture; marius = sea). And Rosemary's Baby was a (rather silly) Hollywood film, not historical fact.



Really, this sort of mish mash of ideas because words sounds similar in modern English, and people can't be bothered to do basic reasearch is really lazy!



Please don't be sucked in by this sort of nonsense. There is enough amazing REAL stuff in the history of the christian church through the centuries without the need to go looking for ditzy conspiracy theories and falsely spooky ideas.



Best wishes :-)

it is composed of beads that pertains to certain prayers.

---BEAD---- ----Prayer----

1. is the cross= Apostle's Creed

2. a bead = Our Father

3. 3 beads = 3x of Hail Mary

5. 1 bead = Glory Be

6. a bead w/ picture of Jesus or/%26amp; Mary = First Mystery

... after the introduction of the mystery... pray 1 Our Father (no bead)

I hope you now have an idea ofWaht the Rosary is.
Reply:What kind of question is this? I used to be Catholic but this makes no sense at all. I would say that those who are faithful to praying the rosary are meditating on the events in the life of Jesus. It's a way of staying focused on the specific Mystery such as The Crucifixion (one of the mysteries of the rosary). What does it matter if there are beads involved? My Grandmother was a faithful prayer of the rosary and it brought her much peace. In Buddhism and other religions you use beads to stay focused during meditation. (Buddhist)
