Making a kitchen rosary is really fun, easy and totally affordable, it’s also a great activity to do with your family. Having faith, integrity and a healthy lifestyle are all important parts of the kitchen rosary idea. A kitchen rosary is a unique type of rosary in which special appliances, gadgets, and tools are used to pray the traditional Catholic Rosary.
While prayer beads are common in various religions and cultures, such as the Hindu mala, Buddhist mala bracelet or the Yo-yo Bo necklace, the kitchen rosary uniquely blends different objects used daily in the kitchen with Rosary prayer.

kitchen rosary
A kitchen rosary is a rosary that is kept in the kitchen. On the kitchen table, on the kitchen counter, or hanging in a place of prominence within the kitchen. Its purpose is to remind you to pray as you go about your daily chores. A kitchen rosary does not have to be blessed or even made for this purpose. You can use an old rosary that you don’t use anymore and designate it to be your kitchen rosary or you can buy one for the purpose.
You can make one yourself if you so choose. The point is that it is there to get your attention and remind you to pray. If it has a place of prominence in your home, then that will serve as a visual cue to get you into the habit of saying prayers while preparing meals in your kitchen and doing other household chores.
How to make a kitchen rosary
The kitchen rosary is a great way to pray the rosary while working in the kitchen. It’s a simple, beautiful devotion that reminds us of the sanctity of our work. A kitchen rosary is very easy to make; you only need a few things: A chain of five beads (I use a silver plated one from my broken necklace). Simply cut a chain into five equal pieces.
Five small medallions with the Hail Mary prayer on them (I used round ones, but you can also get oval or heart shaped ones or even flat ones). You can also make your own medallions by tracing around a coin and writing the Hail Mary prayer in calligraphy on them, so pretty! Or you can print out this image, glue it to cardboard and cut it out. It doesn’t need to be fancy.
How to use the kitchen rosary
The kitchen rosary is a very effective way to pray the rosary. It does not, by any means, replace the traditional method of praying the rosary, but it can be used during those times when you are busy or distracted. For example, while waiting for a pot of water to boil or a loaf of bread to bake, while doing the dishes or cleaning up after dinner, while riding in your car, or while walking on your treadmill.
The kitchen rosary is designed to be flexible and easily adaptable. You can repeat a particular mystery until you have finished what you are doing, or work your way through all four mysteries before continuing. You can pray one decade at a time or combine two or even three decades together.

People usually make them while they’re cooking or cleaning
The best way to have a prayer life is to have it everywhere. And that’s what the kitchen rosary is all about. It’s a way to make your ordinary daily activities sacred by bringing them into the presence of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. The kitchen rosary is made up of the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries, so you can pray it every day. It’s a great devotion for busy people on the go, and it’s perfect for families.
Praying the rosary takes on a new feel when you make it yourself
For those who are searching for a way to pray the rosary in a more effective, hands-on manner, making a kitchen rosary can be an excellent option. Prayer beads have long been used as a tool for prayer and meditation. They were popular in the Middle Ages and, thanks to a resurgence of interest in contemplative prayer and meditation techniques, are enjoying a return to popularity today.
The process of using beads to pray is simple: you hold the cross (or crucifix) in your hand and begin by making your first prayer, typically the Sign of the Cross. From there, you move along the rosary beads one at a time until you reach the end.
Conclusion
Since kitchen rosaries are used primarily in the home and with loved ones, they can reflect some of the functions and tools found in kitchens and gathering places. No two kitchen rosaries are the same, which makes them a unique gift for those who like to cook or who meditate or pray regularly.
If you do decide to make your own, be creative, but follow these steps for success. Once you have your kitchen rosary strung on a necklace, it is ready for use! If you want, you can attach an adhesive magnet to the back of the button as well. Be creative as you make your gifts. You cannot go wrong with a homemade gift.
