Translations:Rosary/7/en
To this was added Elisabeth’s salutation to Mary, “Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.”[1] Thus those who sought out the Virgin as the Mother of the Christ and the Mediatrix of the Father began offering their prayers to her as a bouquet of roses. In time these prayers became an important Christian ritual known as the rosary (from Latin rosārium, rose garden).
