What are the mysteries of the Rosary?

The mysteries are profound events that intricately weave the lives of Jesus and Mary together, offering rich insights into their experiences. These events are beautifully divided into four distinct categories: joyful, sorrowful, glorious, and luminous. Each category holds significant meaning, allowing faithful to reflect on the complexities of their journeys and the teachings they impart. By meditating on these mysteries, one can gain a deeper appreciation for the impact of these moments, not only in the context of faith but also in the broader narrative of humanity's quest for understanding and connection with the divine.

Each mystery is reflected upon during prayer.
