Religion – Picking up her Catholic rosary, Meg, a 24-year-old from Maine, begins her prayers like this: "Hail Persephone, full of strength and beauty. ... Blessed are you and blessed is the cycle of your life. Holy Persephone, queen of life and death, pray for your children now, and in the hour of our need. Blessed be."
The Rosary is a Catholic devotion that has been attributed to St. Dominic, the founder of the Dominican order, who died in 1221. The Rosary is a Marian devotion and is solely Catholic in origin. However, beads strung together in a succession used to count prayers or other meditations have been used throughout the centuries by many different cultures and religions (such as Buddhist monks.)

That's pretty cool. Some pagans have used a rosary for centuries called a mala to pray to the divine mother in Eastern traditions.
