Rosary beads, have been used for centuries as a tool for prayer and meditation. The average rosary is a set of beads that is divided into five decades, each consisting of 10 beads. The rosary can be used in a variety of ways, but the most common method is to recite the Hail Mary on each bead while meditating on the mysteries of the rosary.

What is a Rosary Tenner?

A Rosary Tenner is a small, lightweight rosary that can be used to pray one decade of the Holy Rosary. It is made up of one large bead and 10 smaller beads, and it is a convenient option for those who want to carry a rosary with them but may not have the space for a full rosary. It is perfect for everyday use, and it’s easy to use.

Typically this single decade rosary has a crucifix on one end and a religious medal on the other end as compared to a rosary bracelet or travel rosary which are connected in a loop.

If you’ve ever shopped for a high-quality rosary, you know that beautiful rosaries can be super expensive.  A smaller custom rosary, with fewer beads allows you to splurge on gorgeous one-decade rosary beads.  It is a way to get a gemstone rosary or heirloom rosaries, perhaps with an antique crucifix and other antique pieces at an affordable price.

There are a few different ways to pray on a tenner rosary.  You can pray just one decade and pick any of the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious mysteries to meditate upon. Or you can use it to pray the typical five-decade rosary, by going back and forth on the beads in the tenner.

Why Use a Rosary Tenner?

One of the best things about a 1-decade tenner pocket rosary is its portability. It can easily fit into a purse, pocket, or even the cup holder in your car. This makes it perfect for those who are always on the go. You can pull it out and pray whenever you have a spare moment, whether it’s while you’re waiting in line, during your lunch break or even during your daily commute.

Another great thing about this everyday pocket rosary is that it’s a great way to introduce someone to the rosary. It’s a simple and easy-to-use tool that can help someone who is new to using rosary beads become familiar with the prayers and the mysteries without the larger commitment of a full 5 decade rosary.

In fact, it’s a great way to get yourself into the rosary habit!  It’s so easy and fast to say a decade of the rosary.  When I take the time to pray throughout the day, I feel a sense of peace… like a little spiritual pick-me-up throughout my day.

How to Use a Rosary Tenner

Using a Rosary Tenner is easy! First, make the sign of the cross.  Use the first bead to say the introductory prayers:  Say the Apostle’s Creed. Then, say one Our Father, followed by a Glory Be.  Then say 3 Hail Mary’s.  To start the first decade, say an Our Father.

Then say 10 Hail Marys on the following 10 beads.  Use the medal to say the Glory Be and the Fatima Prayer. This completes one decade of the Rosary. You can stop there or repeat the process for each decade, meditating on the mystery of the Rosary for each decade for that particular day. If you’re just praying one decade, you could pick just one of the mysteries to reflect on for your spiritual devotion.

Finish up your rosary with the Hail Holy Queen Prayer.
