The Rosary

The Rosary and Our Stained Glass Windows

The Month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. The purpose of the Rosary is to help keep in memory certain principal events or mysteries in the history of our salvation, and to thank and praise God for them.The Rosary is not only a mental prayer, but also a vocal prayer in which we meditate on the virtues of the Life, Death, Passion and Glory of Jesus Christ and His Blessed Mother, the Virgin Mary.

Year 3 have been praying one decade of the rosary every day during the month of October. In class we use an app called iRosary this is a great way for the children to follow along with the prayers and to access visuals on each of the mysteries. It also displays an animated set of rosary beads. 

On Thursdays we prayed the rosary in the Marian Chapel. In the Marian Chapel there is a beautiful stained glass window of Mary. The children thought it would be a great idea if we could replicate our own stained glass window. They look fantastic!!! Come check them out in our classroom. 

Challenge :

In class we have been saying the rosary and we remember the different mysteries. Our prayer space people James and Clare have been leading us with the rosary on the iRosary app. This is great for us the follow and see pictures. On Thursdays we go up to the Marian Chapel and say the rosary in front of the stained glass window of Mary. Last week we got to make our own awesome stained glass windows of Mary. They turned out really well and we had a lot of fun!!!! Mrs Bel even wanted some in her office. Check out these photos:
