How to Pray the Traditional Holy Rosary.
On The Crucifix:
Kiss the crucifix and make the sign of the cross. (State your intentions.)
In The name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Spirit).
Amen.
The Apostles Creed: (Symbolum Apostolorum)
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth, and in in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into Hell. On the third day He rose again. He ascended into Heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
Amen.
