A traditional St. Anthony chaplet only has a chain space between the groups of 3 beads, and the chain space is where the the mystery is prayed. However, I have seen some chaplets that have included a small bead in the chain space as a cue to help one to remember to pray the mystery. In this chaplet, I have included a small bead in the chain space as a help to remember to pray the mystery.
