Pater Noster
« on: 2014-03-10, 17:56:52 »
I made a 3 decade Pater Noster over the weekend and gave it a test run. Turns out, it takes about 45 minutes to recite all 150 (that is when you're not tripping yourself up over the Latin). All in all, I'm very pleased with how it turned out.

That turned out quite nicely. It's an often overlooked accessory.

Back in the day, monks read all 150 Psalms each and every day and that practice began to extend to the general public. As most people couldn't read, they substituted the 150 psalms with 150 recitations of the Lord's Prayer, otherwise known as the Our Father (Pater Noster is "Our Father" in Latin). The string of beads, named after the prayer which is recited on it, helped the person keep track of how many they had prayed.

And if I understand correctly, that eventually evolved into the modern day Rosary, correct? They added in an Ave Maria after every decade or something like that.

Yes the Pater Noster did evolve in to the modern Rosary.  I think you see more recognizable Rosaries in the Mary Rose finds... but don't quote me on that.

There's a lot more prayers than just Hail Marys and Our Fathers on a modern Rosary.  People kind of do what they want with them, but the 'proper' praying of the rosary is kind of complex.

I still have enough left-over materials to make two more. If anyone wants one, send me a PM with your address and I'll send you one (free). The first two to PM me will get them.

A simple pater noster is appropriate for virtually the entirety of the Middle Ages.  A rosary is not.

Made 3 single-decade "tenners" tonight for myself and the little squires.  The cross on the red-tasseled one was brought back from the Vatican by my late grandmother and has been blessed by then Pope (and now Saint) John Paul II.

That, my friend, is VERY cool.
