Saint Mary, of the Rosary

Saint Mary, of the Rosary

Saint Mary, of the Rosary, refers to the Blessed Virgin Mary in her special devotion as Our Lady of the Rosary. The feast commemorates her powerful intercession through the prayer of the Rosary, which is closely linked with the Christian victory at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. The Rosary is viewed as a spiritual weapon for faithful Christians, and Mary guides the Church closer to Christ through this devotion.
