Is there any genuinely Orthodox "Rosary"?

[Stylite Nous]

I'd be interested to see how others would critique the following, from Western Rite world-Orthodox: https://www.orthodoxwest.com/rosary

Short answer is: no, the rosary is a post-schism invention, it's not something that was ever used by Orthodox nor should ever be used by us.

The Autonomous Metropolia, who use an accurate pre-schism Western Rite, and not the bastardized and blasphemous "Western Rite" of say, the AWRV, (who published this article) do not nor would not allow the usage of the rosary.

No matter how you cut it, the rosary was created post-schism, by Dominic of Osma in the 13th century (the same time the Papists started going into overdrive with liturgical changes), and later changed into its modern form during Counter-Reformation. Some claim that St. Seraphim of Sarov "prayed the rosary", but this is a deceptive translation where they translated Lestovka as "rosary".

In the West in England before the schism, they did have the practice of "Paternoster" beads, which of course were beads/knots where people said the "Pater Noster" (the "Our Father"). Meant for those who were illiterate as a preparation before communion, and had 100 beads or knots

I have nothing to add to that! Verbum sap sat.

I know you've given the rundown on the rosary before Father, sorry to steal your points verbatim!

Truth can neither be hoarded nor stolen; it can only be shared or hidden, and hiding it eventually fails.
