OCTOBER – THE MONTH OF THE HOLY ROSARY

There is a definite freshness to the air and the leaves are

changing colour. The Summer break, you may have had the

opportunity to enjoy, seems a distant memory and the

decreasing amount of daylight is noticeable. Like each

season, autumn has its attractions, even if it means that

winter is just around the corner.

October is traditionally the month dedicated to Our Lady of

the Rosary. The Rosary, developed in the High Middle Ages

period and the reason that October came to be devoted to

its recitation, is primarily because the liturgical feast of Our

Lady of the Rosary is celebrated annually on 7th October.
