String of beads used in a number of
religions, including Buddhism, Christianity,
and Islam. The term also refers to a form of
prayer used by Catholics, consisting of 150
Ave Marias and 15 Paternosters and Glorias,
or to a string of 165 beads for keeping count
of these prayers; it is linked with the
adoration of the Virgin Mary.
