How did the rosary idea begin, Scott? Do you know the history of it?
Rome has some of the most beautiful Marian statues! My favorite is in San Silvestro (aside from Michelangelo’s Pieta, of course).
Lovely! It is appropriate for this time of year since yesterday was the feast day of the Rosary, which is my sister Rosaria’s name day. Thanks!
Scott, can you recommend a statue of Our Lady particularly associated with devotion to the holy family? We are holding catholic family meetings and as part of this we would like to recommend a statue or icon for all members to keep in their homes.
Also, we wonder if there are traditional prayers associated with family based apostolate that you might know about.

If I am not mistaken it was St Dominic who formulated what do we presently refer to as the holy rosary.
