Our Lady of the Rosary

From Legion of Mary
Today we celebrate the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Pope Piux V established this feast in 1578 in thanksgiving for a victory Christians had over the Turks in Lepanto. The victory was achieved due to the praying of the rosary. In 1717, Clement XI extended the feast to the universal Church.

Since we celebrate this feast day early in October, the remainder of the month is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. Below you will find a video from Family Rosary explaining the history of the Rosary.
