How many rosaries do you think there are for sale in Medugorje?
Drew, the computer assisted reporting expert and former engineer, went to work on that inspired word problem, calculating the approximate number of shops, the amount of stock in each, adding extra stock sure to have been ordered to accommodate the larger-than-usual crowds expected in the 25th anniversary year of Mary’s apparitions and the number is:
About 1 million.
So, a friend asked, how many Hail Marys is that?
Well, counting the five decades and those introductory beads, you say 53 Hail Marys per rosary.
Answer: 53 million prayers.
