An illustrated history of the medieval origins of the rosary. The book makes for fascinating and educational reading and gives an important dimension to the rosary as we honor it today.”?The Catholic Observer ?Winston-Allen?s intriguing work sheds light on [the rosary?s] beginnings and explores how the rosary survived when many other devotional exercises of the Middle Ages did not, why it becamse so popular (even at the height of the Protestant Reformation), and how it was changed over time by writers, worshipers, and religious reformers. Far-reaching in its effects, the rosary was a tremendous source of inspiration for writers and artists, who created scores of rosary books, testimonial anecdotes, legends, songs, and poems. Stories of the Rose elegantly shows us how a religious practice such as the rosary, whose form may seem fixed, actually grew and changed gradually in response to the very people who were practicing it.
