Our Lady of the Rosary’s Victory
In 1571, during the Battle of Lepanto, Christian forces faced a powerful Ottoman fleet. Pope Pius V called everyone to pray the Rosary for protection—and against all odds, the Christian side triumphed. The victory was credited to Mary’s intercession, and October 7 was declared the Feast of Our Lady of Victory, later renamed the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.
More than a story of war, it became a story of faith. The Rosary turned from simple beads into a symbol of trust, courage, and unity. Through it, generations learned that peace isn’t found in strength or silence—it’s found in prayer. The Rosary isn’t just prayed—it’s lived, one mystery at a time.
