Answer: Rosary Beads

There are many different stories about the origin of the rosary. Most theologians believe that the rosary was given to St. Dominic by the Blessed Virgin Mary in an apparition sometime around 1214. It is also believed that the devotion of the rosary was an imitation by the laity of the monks' practice of praying 150 psalms daily.

She is perhaps best known for her role in "Raisin In The Sun" with Sidney Poitier in 1961. Ruby and Ossie received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Screen Actors Guild in 2000.

Answer: bracelet

It has been a long standing tradition in hospitals to place an ID bracelet on the arm of a newborn baby in the delivery room. This bracelet is a way to make sure that once the mother and baby are separated they will still be able to reunite the mother with her own baby.

Answer: Pearl Bailey

Pearl Bailey was a blues singer who got her start singing in church where her father was a pastor. She sang with Count Basie and Cab Calloway's orchestras. In 1968 she won a Tony Award for her performance in the title role of the all-black production of "Hello Dolly" on Broadway. She earned a BA in theology from Georgetown University at the age of 67.

9. This is undoubtedly the largest gem in our quiz. What ancient artifact is a museum piece and has been invaluable in helping linguists decode Egyptian hieroglyphics?

Answer: Rosetta Stone

The Rosetta Stone was originally displayed in a temple, but was thought to have been moved during the medieval period. It was used to construct a fort in the town of Rashid (also known as Rosetta). A French soldier re-discovered the stone in 1799. When the British troops defeated the French in Egypt in 1801, they moved the stone to London, where it remains today on display at the British Museum.

10. Name an item of jewelry that can be associated with a wedding and a telephone. It has a rather appealing sound.

Answer: ring

This really needs no explanation. A wedding and a telephone both have a ring. That's what makes them "appealing".
