October 7- Memorial of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary

October 7- Memorial of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.

This commemorative feast was established by Saint Pius V on the anniversary of the naval victory won by the Christian fleet at Lepanto. The victory was attributed to the help of the Holy Mother of God whose aid was invoked through praying the rosary. The celebration of this day invites all to meditate upon the mysteries of Christ, following the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary. (CP 1284-1285)
