Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This delightful and inviting book offers an introduction to praying with a rosary, which began as a simple string of one hundred and fifty knots to enable ordinary Christians to join in the daily recital of the Psalms in the medieval church. Today, the rosary provides a unique way of meditating on the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus. Always favoured in Catholic devotion, it is now being discovered by Christians of all traditions as a means of enriching prayer. Anne Vail explores a variety of ways of praying the rosary, for busy people and contemplatives alike. A gentle meditation on each of the fifteen mysteries is provided, each one illustrated with an exquisite wood engraving by the renowned twentieth-century artist and poet, David Jones. Text and illustration combine in The Rosary to produce a feast for the senses and nourishment for the soul. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
