Ave María, grátia pléna, Dóminus técum. Benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus frúctus véntris tui, Iésus. Sáncta María, Máter Dei, ora pro nobis peccatóribus nunc et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen 🙏🏻
Our Lady of the Holy Rosary
In thanksgiving for the victory of Lepanto against the forces of Islam, Pope St. Pius V instituted an annual feast in honor of Our Lady of Victory in 1571. Two years later, Pope Gregory XIII changed this title to Our Lady of the Rosary. ✝️🙏🏻
