The Vatican presented the first modern electronic rosaries, which are activated when their owner crosses.

eRosary Click To Pray is a technology-based educational tool designed to help young people pray for Rosary for peace and read the Gospel. The project combines the spiritual traditions of the church and the latest developments in the technological world, according to the developers of e-readers.

The bracelet consists of 10 beads made from hematite and black agate. They can also be used as a standard smart wristband, as a special chip is placed in the cross that collects user data, including health indicators.

The new gadget has already gone on sale and costs 99 euros. The rosaries connect to a mobile app that is available for iOS and Android.
