Pilgrims gathered for live group prayer at the fountain in One Candle

How it works

  1. Enter One Candle a few minutes before the Rosary. The prayer circle opens at the fountain.
  2. Walk into the circle. The leader’s lines and the responses appear on screen in your language.
  3. Pray along at your own pace, kneel if you like, and stay for a quiet moment afterwards.

Questions and answers

When is the live Rosary?

Every evening at 20:00 Rome time. This page shows the next one in your own time zone, and the schedule panel in the world shows all prayer times.

I have never prayed the Rosary. Can I join?

Yes. All words appear on screen line by line, and the prayer pages here explain each part: the Creed, the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Glory Be.

Do I have to speak or use a microphone?

No. There is no voice chat. You pray silently or aloud at home while the words appear for everyone together.

How long does it take?

About ten minutes: the Creed, the Our Father, three Hail Marys and the Glory Be, then one decade with its mystery, and the Hail Holy Queen.

Can I pray in my own language?

Yes. Each pilgrim sees the prayer in their own language — English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German or Polish — at the same moment.

Are there other live prayers?

Yes: the Lord’s Prayer every hour, the Angelus at 6:00, 12:00 and 18:00, and Evening prayer in the Garden of Olives (Rome time).
