hope chest: 嫁妆柜

a chest containing household linen and clothing stored by a woman in preparation for her marriage. The term is used in the midwest or south of the United States. In the United Kingdom, the term is “bottom drawer”. In Australia, is “glory box”.

Hope chests are an ancient tradition to prepare a girl for her future as a wife. The contents of a traditional hope chest included handicraft linen, bed-covers, blankets, towels, essential items like oil lamps, dishes, and candlesticks, and even dresses for special occasions. Their conventional structure is a wooden box with a hinged lid, some models also had drawers to maximise their storing capacity.

The hope chest reached the Americas with the large-scale emigration of Europeans from kingdoms such as Great Britain, Scandinavia, and Germany, beginning in the 18th century. This journey across the oceans was long and tedious, and many families packed all their belongings in a single wooden chest. By the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, hope chests had become a common tradition among low and middle-class girls too in the United States. Most of the production of hope chests was entered around the region of New England.

The tradition of hope chests began to decline in the US after the World War I.

Rosarium Virginis Mariae。《圣母圣咏》经俗称《玫瑰经》，是用珠子念的经文，此词由拉丁文的Rosarium而来，是由Rosa一就是“玫瑰花”为根，因此Rosarium本意是“玫瑰花圃”或“一束玫瑰花”，今取意一连串的祷文，如一束玫瑰鲜花的馨香和可爱，献给天主和圣母玛利亚台前。这名词是由西欧之使徒，道明会士圣文生、婓瑞Saint Vincent Ferrer推广开来的。《玫瑰经》是连串的经文，故用串珠子来念，称为“玫瑰念珠”。玫瑰念珠通常有五十粒小珠子，十粒一组为一端，加上比较大的珠子表示每端的开始。

decade: each of the five divisions of each chapter of the rosary.

A five-decade rosary contains five groups of ten beads (a decade), with additional large beads before each decade.

A decade is to pray one Our Father and Ten Hail Mary’s while meditating on one of the Twenty Mysteries. Most of people who pray the Rosary pray it throughout the day and do one Decade at a time when they are able to.

One "Our Father": Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Ten “Hail Marys: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of death. Amen.

The Litany of the Virgin:

Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a Marian Litany originally approved in 1587 by Pope Sixtus V. The litany contains many of the titles used formally and informally for the Virgin Mary, and would often be recited as a call and response chant in a group setting. This litany is called Litaniae laureate in Latin.

According to Directory on Popular Piety: Litanies are to be found among the prayers to be Blessed Virgin recommended by the Magisterium. These consist in a long series of invocations of Our lady, which follow in a uniform rhythm, thereby creating a stream of prayer characterised by instant praise and supplication.
