Taken from HOLY CARD HEAVEN
Our Lady of the Rosary was known for several centuries by the alternate title of “Our Lady of Victory,”
in honour of her intercession in a 16th-Century naval victory, which secured Europe against invasion
by Islam. "The Rosary became the spiritual weapon of the Christians as thousands joined in Prayer
on the day of the Battle of Lepanto, 7 October 1571." The Rosary was prayed from Dawn to Dusk
and victory was won. In honour of her intercession, Pope Pius V named that day
a Feast Day, Our Lady of Victory. This name was later changed to
Our Lady of the Rosary,
so both titles refer to the same event.
