The meaning of the rosary tattoo.

The rosary is a religious attribute that appeared in ancient times and is a powerful assistant in spiritual work when reading prayers. In the example of the use of a rosary, one can clearly see how objects from the external physical world can become a guide for people to the internal spiritual world. Currently, they are used by many religions and spiritual movements, so at the same time, simple and ingenious rosaries deservedly symbolize spiritual wisdom.

Christian religion

identified the rosary with the magical rose garden of the Virgin herself. Basically, the rosary was the permanent companion of the Roman Catholics. A tattoo that represents a rosary in this case indicates a spiritual perception of being, a strong connection with faith.

The image of a rosary with an ordinary Orthodox cross in the hands clasped in prayer means the strongest and truest love for God. In Orthodoxy, a rosary means a ladder that leads the soul both up to heaven, where it unites with the Lord, and down, that is, to the depths of its subconscious. Thus, the rosary is a kind of measure of a person's love for the Creator.

Geographically, the history of the appearance of the rosary is related to ancient India, where it is still considered a cult accessory. Outwardly, the rosary embodies the theory of the cyclical nature of life, consisting of an infinite number of reincarnations of all living beings, which is fully consistent with the teachings of Buddhism. At the same time, since Buddhism appeared on the basis of Brahmanism, the rosary of the Brahmins stands out very significantly from the rest of the mass of varieties that were created later.

So, about 15 thousand years ago, the Brahmins came up with a rosary, which initially personified the worship of the sun. At the same time, they believed that they had no right to compare themselves with the gods who wore this sign of the Sun on their chests, and therefore carried a rosary in their hands. This solar symbol, also called the "Eyes of Rudra", was made, as a rule, in black.

For the same reason, those who were inferior to the Brahmins could not be equal to them either and used the rosary elsewhere or did not use it at all. The rosary, being a religious symbol of reverence in Brahmanism, embodies the solar model, its circulation in outer space. At the same time, it was customary to pass the rosary from the teacher to the follower if the latter reached special heights in knowledge.

In Buddhist culture,

the rosary symbolizes the wheel of the Law and Samsara, in which beads are planted, personifying various phenomena.

Among the Old Believers, this symbol meant endless prayer, as well as a kind of step in the ascent of the soul to heaven.
