  Paternoster Row: Historical rosaries & paternosters
The beads used for counting were called paternoster beads: usually a string of 10, 50 or 150 beads, with or without dividing markers.
Depending on your station in life and your purse, your medieval rosary or paternoster could be a string of simple knots on a cord, or a string of beads of wood, bone, glass, semiprecious stone such as agate or jet, amber, silver, pearls, or even gold, emeralds, or sapphires.
In general, medieval rosary or paternoster beads were a kind of personal jewelry, and followed the style of other jewelry of the time.

 fishSA.com - Paternoster Rig [Tackle Talk - Knots & Ties]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Paternoster is a Latin name, meaning "Our Father", and its origin is said to be that St. Peter used a similar rig to catch a fish that was mentioned in a New Testament story.
The basic Paternoster rig consists of a sinker tied to the end of a line, often with a loop which allows the sinker to be removed or changed easily.
Variations of the Paternoster rig include tying the hook at the end of the main line with the sinker attached to a dropper loop, in fact the reverse of the example on the left.

 Paternoster
Paternosters were popular throughout the first half of the 20th century as they could carry more passengers than ordinary elevators.
Today, in many countries new construction of paternosters is not allowed any more because of the high danger of accidents (people tripping or falling over when trying to enter or alight).
An irrational yet common misconception is that it is dangerous to stay on in an upgoing cabin after it has reached the top floor or in a downgoing one after it has passed the ground floor level.

 Paternoster at Italian Wine Merchants
It was Anselmo Paternoster who started the family in viticulture back in 1925, when he saw potential where others just saw poverty in the little town of Barile.
Then it was Giuseppe Paternoster who always generously extended his knowledge to the entire zone and, like Basilicata's other great traditionalist D'Angelo, he deserves respect for having put the remote appellation of Aglianico del Vulture on the radar of wine enthusiasts worldwide.
Paternoster is famous for two different but equally important expressions of Aglianico, each marking the identity of a generation: the Rotondo is an innovative modern wine and the Don Anselmo more traditional but just as rewarding.

Paternoster was one of the very first of these CDAs - Comprehensive Development Areas.
And because post-war Paternoster Square is not a conservation area, there is even less that the City Planning Committee can do to control the design of buildings within it.
To sum up: because there is this broad discretionary element in our planning legislation, as well as the absence of aesthetic control, architects and developers have the wrong kind of freedom - the freedom to impose their caprice, which is a kind of tyranny.
