First we’ll take a look at the “rosary beads”.
The origin of these objects and their original intent takes some, in-depth research.

1. Rosary; a string of five (sometimes fifteen) sets of beads (one large bead and ten small beads in each set), used to count prayers as they are recited: at each large bead an Our Father is said; at each small one, a Hail Mary; at the end of each set, the lesser doxology b(a) the greater doxology, which begins Gloria in excelsis Deo (glory to God in the highest) b) the lesser doxology, which begins Gloria Patri (glory to the Father) c) a hymn beginning “Praise God from whom all blessings flow”
1) this group of prayers
2 any string of beads used in praying.
Now, this is how Webster’s Dictionary defines these objects.
The late Alexander Hislop, from his book, The Two Babylon’s, on pages, 187, 188, he has pinned the origin of this object of worship.
Every one knows how thoroughly Romanist is the use of the rosary; and how the devotees of Rome, mechanically tell their prayers upon their beads. The rosary, however, is no invention of the Papacy. It is of the highest antiquity, an almost universally found among the Pagan nations.
The rosary was used as a sacred instrument among the ancient Mexicans.
It is commonly employed among the Brahmins of Hindustan; and in the Hindoo sacred books reference is made to it again and again. In an account of the death of Sati, the wife of Shiva, we find the rosary introduced In Thibet it has been used from time im-memorial, and among all the millions in the east that adhere to the Buddhist faith.
The following, from Sir John F. Davis, will show how it was employed in China: “From the Tartar religion of the Lamas, the rosary of 108 beads has become a part of the ceremonial dress attached to the nine grades of official rank”. There is a small rosary of 18 beads, of inferior size, with which the bonzes count their prayers and ejaculations, exactly as in the Romish ritual.
In Asiatic Greece, the rosary was commonly used as may be seen in the image of the Ephesian Diana. In pagan Rome the same appears to have been the case.
The necklace, which the Roman ladies wore were not merely ornamental bands about the neck, but hung down the breast, just as the modern do. And the name in which they were called indicates the use to which they were applied. “Monile’”, the ordinary word for a necklace, can have no other meaning, than that of a remembrancer.
Now whatever might be the pretence, in the first instance for the introduction of such “rosaries, or Remembrances, the very idea of such a thing is thoroughly Pagan!
In the Church of Rome a new kind of devotion has of late been largely introduced, in which the beads play an important part and which shows what new and additional Strides in the direction of the “old Babylonian Paganism”, the papacy every day is steadily making.
2. Crucifix
n.
5ME < OFr or ML; OFr crucefix < ML (Ec) crucifixus, orig. pp. of LL (Ec) crucifigere: see CRUCIFY6 a cross, with the figure of who they perceive, to be, the crucified Messiyah on it.
3. Cross; ) a representation of a cross, in any of various recognized forms, as a symbol of, the letter “t” or tammuz, and in 786.A.D, as a symbol the crucifixion of Yahshua(Jesus), hence of the Christian religion b) a crucifix.
The same sign of the cross that Rome now worships was used in the Babylonian Mysteries, was applied by paganism to the same magic purposes, was honored with the same honors.
That which is now called the Christian cross was originally No Christian emblem at all , but the mystic “Tau” of the Chaldeans and Egyptians. The true original form of the letter “T”- the initial of the name of Tammuz.
The mystic “Tau”, was marked in baptism, on the foreheads of those initiated in the Mysteries and was used in every variety of way as a most sacred symbol.
The Vestal virgins of pagan Rome wore it suspended from their necklaces, as the nuns do now.
The Egyptians did the same, and many of the barbarous nations with whom they had intercourse, as the Egyptian monuments bear witness.
Traces of it may be seen in the fancy ornaments of the Rot-n-no; showing that it was already in use as early as the fifteenth century before the Christian era.
There is hardly a pagan tribe where the cross, has not been found.
The cross was worshiped by the Pagan Celts long before the incarnation and Death of Christ
.
The cross was originally Created and worn in Honor of Tammuz. The Cross symbolizes the “t” in Tammuz.
The symbol of the “cross” was not applied to the Messiyah or anything called “Christian”, until the Year, 786 A.D.
The Cross is, Of the Purest Pagan Origins!
The Crucifix is, Of the Purest Pagan Origins!
The Rosary is, Of the Purest Pagan Origins!
Should we continue to wear something that is Against The Almighty?
Idle worship , is a very serious Transgression, to The Almighty. We All must be sure who and what it is, that we are worshiping
