The Mysteries of the Rosary: And Holy Land Sites

By J. Paul Briggs

In the Holy Land, the sites where the events of the Rosary took place serve as a powerful testimony. Those who built churches and monuments, and created beautiful art and sculptures, and those who have preserved them throughout the ages, deserve our deepest gratitude. The oldest holy sites have been visited for centuries by pilgrims throughout the world in order that they enrich their faith and Christian understanding. This book is intended to promote the Rosary and the Holy Land, where the life of Christ and the events of the Rosary mysteries unfold. It is comprised of: *A description and images of the Holy Land sites of the Rosary mysteries, including the fifteen stations of the cross; *Maps of the Holy Land that provide a basic spatial orientation; *Information on how to say the Rosary;*Biblical references to the mysteries of the Rosary; and *Pictures of art portraying the mysteries.The Rosary deepens one's faith in Christ the Savior and in Mary, His Mother as our helper. In thinking of the mysteries, each event in the life of Jesus and Mary has much that can be learned. Meditation of the mysteries helps one step into the very presence of the lives of Jesus and Mary. The concluding prayer of the Rosary directs our contemplation "to imitate what they (the mysteries) contain and obtain what they promise." Through praying the Rosary, the Holy Spirit reveals the meaning behind the mysteries in one's own life, strengthens one's imitation of Jesus and Mary, and showers graces upon devoted ones.
