when did the rosary become a catholic devotion?
the thirteenth century
the christian victory at the battle of lepanto in 1571 was attributed to the praying of the rosary by masses of europeans based on the request of pope pius v and eventually resulted in the feast of our lady of the rosary. in 1569, the papal bull consueverunt romani pontifices established the devotion to the rosary in the catholic church. in 2002 pope john paul ii introduced the luminous mysteries - based on a compilation by st george preca the first maltese saint, - as an option in an apostolic letter on the rosary, "rosarium virginis mariae".

history of the rosary
as a roman catholic devotion, the chaplet is often said as a rosary-based prayer with the same set of rosary beads used for reciting the rosary or the chaplet of holy wounds. as an anglican devotion, the divine mercy society of the anglican church states that the chaplet can also be recited on anglican prayer beads. the chaplet may also be said without beads, usually by counting prayers on the fingertips, and may be accompanied by the veneration of the divine mercy image.
