I have heard that the Rosary is not prayed in the Eastern Rite of the Catholic Church. Is this correct?
Thank you.

The Byzantine Rosary
by: The Rosary Team

The Byzantine "Rosary" is called the Chotki (chaplet) or The Jesus Prayer. It is similar in style to the Rosary but not very similar in the way it is recited or meditated upon. Comparing it to the Rosary would be like comparing the Rosary with the Divine Mercy Chaplet.

The number of beads vary in this "chaplet" and are not divided into decades nor are any mysteries meditated upon. Rather than the "Hail Mary", on each bead is prayed the following prayer:

"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on me, a sinner."

Many Byzantine Catholics do pray the Rosary but it is a tradition more popular in the Latin Rite.
