From the rear cover
For centuries, the rosary has been one of the most popular expressions of religious devotion among Roman Catholics, but it origins remain obscure. Stories of the Rose presents a compelling and readable history of the rosary in its formative years. It explores the many spiritual, literary, and artistic dimensions of the rosary and explains how and why it became so popular on the eve of the Protestant Reformation.
