Abstract:

This review is about the Catholic beliefs on the Rosary prayers. Frequently, the Rosary prayers are incorrectly interpreted as mere repetitions of prayer chants. Instead, the mystery of the Rosary begins with Jesus and circles back to Jesus. The twenty mysteries in the Rosary prayers are organized into the four-mystery category: the joyful, luminous (light), sorrowful, and glorious mysteries. Specifically, the review discussion here is based on a bible-based reference to the five glorious mysteries of the Rosary prayers.

Keywords:

Ascension, Assumption of Mary, Coronation of Mary, Pentecost, Resurrection.
