	  You're right, I was raised Lutheran and became Catholic as an
adult.  What I meant was that it was Martin Luther who introduced the idea
of saying mass in the native language of each country rather than in Latin.
	  I also did some research on the rosary several months back to see
if it would be appropriate for my persona to carry one.  All the dates that
I found indicated that the rosary (which is the "long version" we are
discussing, I think) did not come into common usage until late in period.  I
can look up my notes if anyone is interested in the actual date that is
accepted by the Church.  I believe the single Ave Maria prayer itself to be
from very early usage in the Church - perhaps second century if I am not
mistaken.  It is likely, in that context, that timing based on an Ave Maria
is less than a minute.  If spoken slowly and carefully as you suggest (and
are more than likely right) perhaps it might go to a minute.  I doubt there
are any records of the tempo and rhythm the would have used when they said
it.
