Vatican launches 'click-for-pray' Rosary bracelet

The Vatican has launched a $110"eRosary" in a bid to encourage tech-savvy Catholics to pray. Introduced on Tuesday, the wearable smart device links to an app designed to teach users how to pray with rosary beads. The eRosary, available on Amazon and the Vatican's own website, can be worn as a bracelet. It is activated by making the sign of the cross. The rosaries are crafted together using 10 beads and a metal cross that detects movement and stores data. Traditionally, beads on the rosary represent different Catholic prayers. Users can synchronize the eRosary to the app, which features an audio guide, images and personalized content. The app is free to download and shares the eRosary name.
