HERB - Another Bruise juice recipe (Rosary)

[Katherine Blackthorne]

>Another good phrase is "for the length of a rosarie."
Know how long it takes to say the Catholic rosary? Today, I
think about 45 minutes based on what I've experienced at
Catholic funerals (someone correct me if I'm wrong, 'cause
I'm in NO way Catholic).

I was raised very Old Catholic (French Canadian).  12 yrs. of Catholic 
School -- most of it by people who were convinced Mass in the Vernacular was 
a Bad Idea.

When we say the Rosary today, it usually consists of going around all the 
beads once.  (5 decades of Hail Mary's, + the little dangly bit at the 
bottom.)  As the nuns who raised me would be quick to point out, THIS IS NOT 
A FULL ROSARY.  For the full deal, you have to do the thing 3 times.  
(Thereby meditating on the Joyful, Sorrowful, & Glorious Mysteries, not just 
one group.)  I believe this would be more in keeping with what mideaval 
sources meant when they refered to a Rosary.  What this actually comes down 
to in practice is about 3 hrs. -- give or take.

(As a Catholic, you get pretty good at saying those prayers really fast!)
