Given to me by my mother when I was five, the rosary means the devotion to Christ and Mary. History indicates that it was created in the thirteenth century, by the Catholic Church, at the times of crusades against heresies. I, however, am not Catholic.
It is hard to believe, but I can still remember the day she gave it to me as if it was yesterday. She said that whenever I do not know what to do, and fell insecure or scared, that I should press it to my fist, and think about Jesus, that nothing would harm me.
Strangely, it has always helped me since then, through all my problems and afflictions. Today, I am not that superstitious, and I recognize that it is nothing but a simple object. However, I feel like it has a mysterious energy in it, and I always feel protected everywhere I go, and I am never without it.
