Feasts in the Rosary
To Celebrate Year Round
Feasts of Our Lady and the Rosary:
 How often, while meditating on the feasts in the Rosary, do we actually think of the feast days, AS feast days, except on the actual days that we celebrate them?Come along with us and learn a bit more about each day so our meditations will become enlivened even more with our knowledge increased and refreshed. Sometimes just being reminded of facts that we know is enough to enrich our thoughts and prayers. First we will start off with October, the month dedicated to Our Lady and the month of the Rosary which of course contains the Feast of the Holy Rosary, October 7th. Feast of the Rosary ~ Oct 7th
This Feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, Celebrated on October 7th, was initially established as the Feast of Our Lady of Victory and then established to commemorate the victory over the Turkish Islams in the Battle of Lepanto in October 1571. Originally it was celebrated on the first Sunday of October, then later was moved to it's own feast day of October 7th.
