In the papal document ROSARIUM VIRGINIS MARIAE, Pope John Paul II declared October 2002 – October 2003 The Year of the Rosary and proposed 5 new mysteries reflecting on the public life of Christ.
This new cycle of mysteries, which in a sense, complete the rosary as a prayerful meditation on the entire life of Christ will, no doubt, go down in Church history as one of the late pontiff's greatest contributions to Catholic spirituality.
