MADE AROUND THE WORLD Old records and inventories recently found reveal that Rosaries were being made in the Orient for European use in the 1600s. Amber, crystal, coral and fine, aromatic woods are the most popular. Rosaries made in Portuguese India are highly prized from a ’very early date’as are filigree beads made of silver from the Middle East. +

The battle is won and France is saved. + OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY St. Louis DeMontfort is born in Brittany in 1673. He will be the founder of two religious orders in his lifetime. Many of his sermons are now in book form, ‘True Devotion to Mary,’‘The Secret of Mary’ and the ‘Secret of the Rosary’ are the most popular. Today these books guide those who choose to Consecrate their lives to Jesus through Mary. + THE CITY OF VIENNA IS SAVED Ten years later, the Saracens try to invade Austria.
