HISTORY OF THE PENAL CHAPLET/ROSARY: The Penal Rosary was developed from a long and sad history of the people of Ireland. But for some unknown reason, it is finding a new life all over the praying world, possibly because of world events. It is often known as ‘An Paidrin Beag’ or ‘The Little Rosary’. Its long shape traditionally is thought to come from the need to hide it under one’s sleeve as if caught praying the rosary, it could mean death. The ring would fit over the finger and be moved from one finger to the next to count the 5 decades. This would complete one set of the three mysteries of the full 15 decade rosary prayers.
