draw a bead on, decade of a rosary, eRosary, wearable rosary



The eRosary is an app-driven device that can be worn as a bracelet. To activate it, all you have to do is make the sign of the cross, similar to how Catholics begin praying the rosary.




San Francisco's Bookstores and Readings Reflect a Lively Literary Scene

In the home of many of the very technologies that have drawn a bead on the book, visitors will find a haven for readers that, though it has surely heard the news of its own demise, isn't buying it.


decade of a rosary :一端玫瑰經:指一串玫瑰經的五分之一,包括一遍天主經、十遍聖母經、一遍聖三光榮經。詳見 Rosary 。 
Rosary, the (1) 玫瑰經:古代修士每日有誦念 50 首聖詠之習慣。中世紀聖母敬禮流行,修士用以獻給聖母,猶如壹串玫瑰花,故稱玫瑰經。一般教友不諳(拉丁文)聖詠,遂以 50 次聖母經代替,並以串珠計數,謂之(玫瑰)念珠 Beads 。念珠每串 53 小珠, 6 大珠及一苦像,每小珠念聖母經,大珠念天主經及聖三光榮頌,並默想耶穌及聖母之事蹟,每串又分歡喜、痛苦、榮福各五端,參閱 corona
Rosary 又稱 Rosarium (2) 念珠:念玫瑰經時計數之用。早期隱修士為虔誠理由,願意多念些經文,用卵石果核投入籃內計數,之後逐漸演變成今日多采多姿的念珠。
