A means by which Catholics are absolved of all sin, the rosary is a string of beads with a miniature cross on the end which comes either with or without a little man attached. It is usually made from pressed plastic and sometimes glows in the dark. The same plastic is frequently used in the manufacturing of luminescent Virgin Marys, Baby Jesuses, Santa Clauses, Easter Bunnies, Buddas and Vampire Teeth.
