Abstract

A mechanical or computer-assisted electronics device, typically worn on one, two or three fingers of either hand to aid the user in saying and keeping track of the prayers of the Rosary. The device may be useful to a person saying the Rosary prayers while involved in other activities during a busy day, such as driving a vehicle, in public transportation, walking, etc. The system may be especially desirable when full use of both hands are needed at times, as well as when others in the area need not know that the user is deep in prayer. The user may wish to keep the hand with the device in a pants pocket, hidden in scarf or other clothing, covered by the other hand, or merely partly covering the device by the adjacent thumb. Growth to other prayer groups or sets of meditations and to prayers of other religions is disclosed.
