Lazarus and the rich man.
The Rosary from the Latin word rosarium, meaning "rose garden" or "garland of roses". The purpose of the rosary is for man to learn how Jesus and Mary care about our sorrows. Our goal is to gain faith in how Jesus and Mary loves each of us.
In gratitude, Pope Pius V gave a new title to the Virgin Mary; Our Lady of Victories. He set aside October 7 as her feast day, to commemorate the victory at Lepanto, naming the new holiday Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mother of Victory.
His successor Pope Gregory XIII changed the name of the holiday to Feast of the Holy Rosary, to honor the decisive role of the Rosary in bringing victory at Lepanto. By order of Pope John XXIII, we have called this holiday the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary since 1960.
