Catholics use a rosary for prayer. They recite fixed prayers while holding a single large bead and while running their fingers across a series of ten beads. These prayers may be directed to Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary or The Father.

Some Catholic Christians feel it is sacrilegious for a non-believer to wear a rosary. The Roman Catholic Church states, “Sacred objects, set aside for Devine worship by dedication or blessing, are to be treated with reverence. They are not to be made over to secular or inappropriate use, even though they may belong to private persons.” Catholics do not like for a rosary to be used as just a piece of jewelry. So, if you were a religious person, I would say it would be okay to wear a rosary, even if you are not Catholic. You may want to learn the prayers used by Catholics if you were to wear a rosary. You can find these prayers on the Internet.
