The use of the Catholic Rosary is fairly common among Anglicans of [[Anglo-Catholicism|Anglo-Catholic]] [[churchmanship]].<ref name=Duckworth /> Many Anglo-Catholic prayer books and manuals of devotion, such as [[Saint Augustine's Prayer Book]] contain the Catholic Rosary along with other Marian devotions. The public services of the Anglican churches, as contained in the ''[[Book of Common Prayer]]'', do not directly invoke the Blessed Virgin or any other saint in prayer as the [[Thirty-Nine Articles]] reject the practice of praying to saints, but many Anglo-Catholics feel free to do so in their private devotions. Anglicans who pray the Catholic Rosary tend not to use the Luminous Mysteries or the Fátima decade prayer.<ref name=Schultz >''The Rosary for Episcopalians/Anglicans'' by Thomas Schultz 2003 {{ISBN|1-58790-055-6}}{{page needed|date=April 2020}}</ref>

Although it is sometimes called the "Anglican rosary", it is distinct from the Rosary of Our Lady as prayed by Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, and other Western Christians.<ref name=Duckworth >''Mary: The Imagination of Her Heart'' by Penelope Duckworth 2004 {{ISBN|1-56101-260-2}} p. 118</ref>
