Songs of the Rosary is a 90 minute collection of Sunday 7pm Choir hymns dedicated to the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary (October 7) and to help people pray and meditate on the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful and Glorious Mysteries.

Saint Pius V established the feast of Our Lady of Victory to thank God for a victory attributed to praying the rosary. Pope Gregory XIII changed the name to the Feast of the Holy Rosary in 1573. In 1913, Saint Pius X set the date for the Feast of the Holy Rosary on October 7.

The development of the rosary has a long history. First, a practice developed of praying 150 Our Father's in imitation of the 150 Psalms. Then there was a parallel practice of praying 150 Hail Mary's. Soon a mystery of Jesus’ life was attached to each Hail Mary. In the 16th century, the rosary was developed to consist of 15 mysteries: Joyful, Sorrowful and Glorious. In 2002, Pope John Paul II added the five Mysteries of Light (Luminous) to this devotion.

Recorded live by the Sunday 7pm Choir at St. Francis de Sales Parish in Ajax, Ontario, Canada. Thanks for listening and God bless!
