Feast of the Holy Rosary
Today is the Feast of the Holy Rosary. This feast was established in 1573 by St. Pius V, a Dominican pope who had great personal devotion to the prayer. He instituted the feast in thanksgiving for the Christian victory over the Turks in the battle of Lepanto. Because the feast falls in October, the entire month is dedicated to honoring Mary with the rosary.
