A Ladder Rosary is a type of rosary whose origin comes from Mexico. It is so called because the beads are turned sideways and linked into chain rather than to one another, making the beads look like rungs on a ladder. The ladder has a very long history in the Scriptures and Tradition. Jacob sees a ladder in the Old Testament, representing the ascent to God. Jesus appropriates this imagery to himself, the Ladder between heaven and earth. St. Benedict speaks of the Ladder of humility, by which we climb to God. St. John Climacus speaks of the Ladder of Divine Ascent, the rungs being the different virtues leading to union with God. The buy Marian significance was also drawn out over time. St. Dominic experienced a vision of souls climbing into Heaven on the Rosary. St. Francis de Sales had a vision of two ladders to Heaven: a rather steep one directly to Jesus, and another, far less steep, towards the Blessed Virgin Mary. Interestingly, the Russian word for Rosary means “ladder,” and, Michelangelo's “Last Judgment” in the Sistine Chapel shows two souls being pulled out of purgatory by a Rosary.
