Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary

Along the interlocking stone walkway facing the Exterior Altar, on the way to the Statue of the Risen Christ, are five mosaics depicting the five Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary. Each mosaic is about seven or eight feet high, and the workmanship is exquisite. One can find many pilgrims praying in front of these mosaics, especially when the weather is nice. Silence should be maintained in this area.

1st Luminous Mysteries – The Baptism of Jesus

2nd Luminous Mysteries – The wedding of Cana

3rd Luminous Mysteries – The proclamation of the Kingdom of God

4th Luminous Mysteries – The Transfiguration

5th Luminous Mysteries – The institution of the Eucharist
