English to afrikaans meaning of

Die woordeboekbetekenis van die woord "rooskrans" is 'n stel gebedskrale wat in die Katolieke Kerk gebruik word om gebede te tel, veral die Wees gegroet, en om te mediteer oor verskillende verborgenhede in die lewe van Jesus en Maria. Dit bestaan tipies uit 'n string krale en 'n kruisbeeld en word gebruik as 'n gewyde hulpmiddel tydens persoonlike of gemeenskaplike gebed. Die term "rooskrans" kom van die Latynse woord "rosarium," wat "roostuin" beteken, en is 'n verwysing na die simboliese verband tussen die gebede en die idee om geestelike blomme aan Maria te bied.
