String of beads with a cross attached used by Catholics to count prayers. Designs vary, but often they are made specifically with certain number of small beads between larger beads to remind the person of the order of the prayers. It is used by moving one bead through your hand each time you complete one prayer, such as a Hail Mary. When you have gone around the whole necklace you are complete. Compare with mala beads.
