what are the 3 mysteries of the rosary
Rosary A standard fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary, based on the long-standing custom, was established by Pope Pius V in the 16th century, grouping the mysteries in three sets: the Joyful Mysteries, the Sorrowful Mysteries, and the Glorious Mysteries. In 2002 Pope John Paul II said that it is fitting that a new set of five be added, called the Luminous Mysteries, bringing the total number of mysteries to twenty, although he did not create these mysteries. They had been used by Holy Cross father Patrick Peyton, the "Rosary Priest" of the 20th Century.
