EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL IN PERSON:)
Our Lady of Lourdes
is a Roman Catholic title of the Blessed Virgin Mary venerated in honor of the Marian apparitions that reportedly occurred in 1858 in the vicinity of Lourdes in France. The first of these is the apparition of 11 February 1858, when 14-year old Bernadette Soubirous told her mother that a "lady" spoke to her in the cave of Massabielle (a mile from the town) while she was gathering firewood with her sister and a friend. Similar apparitions of the alleged "Lady" were reported on seventeen occasions that year, until the climax revelation of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception took place.
The prayers that essentially compose the Rosary are arranged in sets of ten
Hail Marys
with each set preceded by one
Lord's Prayer
and followed by one
Glory Be
. During recitation of each set, known as a decade, thought is given to one of the
Mysteries of the Rosary
, which recall events in the lives of
Jesus
and
Mary
. Normally, five decades are recited in a session. Other prayers are sometimes added after each decade (in particular, the
Fátima Prayer
) and before (in particular, the
Apostles' Creed
), and after (in particular, the
Hail, Holy Queen
) the five decades taken as a whole. The rosary as a material object is an aid towards saying these prayers in the proper sequence.
