Fatima (Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary)

October 7 celebrates every year The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary and the power of the Rosary prayer. In each of her six appearances to the three shepherd children (Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta) between May and October 1917, Mary asked them to pray the Rosary every day. In her July 1917 apparition, Mary taught the children a short prayer to be recited after the Glory Be at the end of each decade of the Rosary: “O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those most in need of thy mercy.” Mary stated that the daily Rosary was essential for bringing an end to World War I and achieving global peace, emphasizing that only through this prayer and conversion could peace be secured. During her final apparition on October 13, 1917—coinciding with the Miracle of the Sun—she identified herself explicitly as "Our Lady of the Rosary." The feast marks a major naval battle on October 7, 1571. A Christian fleet called the Holy League fought the powerful Ottoman Navy. Pope St. Pius V asked all Christians across Europe to pray the Rosary for a safe victory. The smaller Christian fleet won the battle and credited their success to Mary's intercession. Pope Pius V first named the day the Feast of Our Lady of Victory. Later, Pope Gregory XIII changed the name to the Feast of the Holy Rosary. Pope Pius X set the final fixed date of October 7 in 1913. The Catholic Church dedicates the entire month of October to the Holy Rosary. Believers use this month to meditate on the life of Jesus through the prayers of the Rosary.
