RE: Prompt of the day “Beads” - Original Use Case
regards @d00k13
Hi, I think it's used to count prayers repetitions.
"Accounts" to count.
Both Buddhists and Mohammedans used account circles to make their prayers.
Then, when Catholicism was founded, they took this custom for their prayers, they use a rosary; of counts.
This is not used by Jesus or his disciples.
I believe you may be correct, used for accounting dating way back to the 1600 using abacus 🧮 prior to that they were used for counting prayers like you mentioned but deeply interwoven with decorative function.
