Rosary having illuminated objects and a clock for identifying prayers of the day

An apparatus for praying the rosary comprising:

• (a) a flexible elongate member and a plurality of beads and transition objects carried thereby, the plurality of beads including sets of beads separated by respective transition objects, wherein one portion of the flexible elongate member is a conductive wire bundle having a plurality of wires for providing power and ground for use by the transition objects;
• (b) a display fixedly attached to each of the transition objects, each display including a plurality of sections which are individually illuminated by a respective light source to reveal or visually highlight an image in the respective section, wherein the plurality of wires for providing power and ground are electrically connected to the display to provide power and ground to the respective light sources;
• and
• (c) a unitary structure that is connected to each end of the conductive wire bundle, the unitary structure housing a clock, a logic circuit, and a power source for the clock and logic circuit, wherein the logic circuit is electrically connected to the conductive wire bundle so as to output power to one of the respective wires of the conductive wire bundle in accordance with a day of the week as determined by the current state of the clock, and thereby illuminate one of the plurality of sections in each of the transition objects,
• wherein the logic circuit is configured to automatically illuminate one of the plurality of sections in each of the transition objects when power is applied to the logic circuit from the power source, without requiring any user input to be made with respect to any of the transition objects.
