  Anglican prayer beads - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anglican Prayer Bead sets usually begin with a cross, not a crucifix (cross with "corpus"), although some users prefer theirs to have a small crucifix.
These beads are made of a variety of materials, such as precious stones, wooden beads, dried and painted seeds, coloured glass beads, antique jewelry, or jade.
While both types of rosaries are intended as aids to contemplative prayer, the most common prayers used with the Catholic rosary focus on the seminal events in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ and venerate Mary.
