A rosary is commonly used to help people keep count of prayers.
The ones that the children got that day were unique not just because they had been given by the Pope himself, but also because they bore the Vatican City coat of arms.
Design of rosaries
Each rosary has 59 beads as usual with a crucifix at the end.

The Vatican City coat of arms was imprinted at the part commonly known as the "heart" of the rosary.

Mothership understands that girls received their rosaries in red pouches while boys were handed green pouches.
