Before the Mysteries of Light proposed by Pope John Paul II, the 15-Decade Rosary (in honor of the 150 Psalms) was prayed as follows:
*The 5 Joyful Mysteries on Mondays and Thursdays
*The 5 Sorrowful Mysteries on Tuesdays and Fridays
*The 5 Glorious Mysteries on Wednesdays and Saturdays
*On Sundays of Christmas the 5 Joyful Mysteries
*On Sundays of Lent the 5 Sorrowful Mysteries
*On all other Sundays of the year, during Advent and Ordinary Time, the 5 Glorious Mysteries.
Some devotees of this form of prayer and praise of God in honor of Mary recite and meditate once every day on all 15 Mysteries or on all 20 Mysteries (including the Mysteries of Light), which normally takes from 30 to 45 minutes.
The Rosary is comparable and parallel to the Old Testament Psalm 136, which recalls with praises of thanksgiving each of the marvelous works of the Lord and repeats 26 times, "for his mercy endures for ever!"

By tradition, the [[Catholic]] laity began the practice of saying the rosary in honor of the [[Mary|Blessed Virgin]] and as an easier imitation of the monastic practice of praying the 150 Psalms. The first historical evidence of the rosary is from [[Saint Dominic]] (A.D. 1221), who founded Order of Preachers or Dominicans.<ref>http://www.ewtn.com/expert/answers/rosary_history.htm</ref> A disciple of [[Saint Dominic]], Alain de Roche, instituted the modern form of the rosary. Many Popes, and particularly the Dominicans, have urged the regular recitation of the rosary, which means a crown of roses as a spiritual bouquet given to the [[Mary|Blessed Mother]].
