Yes, Episcopalians can and do pray the rosary! Just as we ask our friends to pray for us, we can ask the saints—that great cloud of witnesses—to intercede on our behalf. Praying the rosary draws us close to the heart of St. Mary the God-bearer as we meditate on Jesus’ ministry, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension.
