The user’s phrase appears to be Polish and translates roughly to: “how many beads are in one rosary.” The standard Catholic rosary used in common practice has 59 beads in total: 1 crucifix and 1 centerpiece plus 53 beads arranged as five decades of ten beads each, with four larger “separator” beads (one between each decade and one before the first decade). The breakdown is:
- 1 crucifix bead (the cross) at the end
- 1 centerpiece bead (the main connecting piece) between the decades
- 5 decades of beads: 5 × 10 = 50 small beads for the “Zdrowaś Maryjo” prayers
- 4 larger separator beads between decades
- Total small beads: 50
- Total larger separator beads: 4
- Grand total beads (excluding the crucifix and centerpiece in some counts): 53, but including all beads commonly counted (including separators) the standard total is 59
If your context is a different tradition or a nonstandard rosary (there are variations with more or fewer beads or additional mysteries), please specify the exact tradition or structure you’re referring to and I can tailor the count.
