GLOROIUS MYSTERY are meditated upon while praying the Rosary

In the context of the Catholic faith, the Glorious Mysteries are one of the four sets of mysteries used to pray the Rosary. These mysteries focus on significant events in the lives of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary that emphasize the glory and triumph of the resurrection and ascension of Jesus, as well as the coronation of Mary. The Glorious Mysteries are traditionally prayed on Wednesdays and Sundays, and they include the following five events:

The Resurrection: Jesus rises from the dead on the third day after His crucifixion.
The Ascension: Jesus ascends into Heaven, forty days after His resurrection.
The Descent of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit descends upon the apostles and Mary on Pentecost, fifty days after Easter.
The Assumption: Mary is assumed body and soul into Heaven at the end of her earthly life.
The Coronation: Mary is crowned as Queen of Heaven and Earth.
These mysteries are meditated upon while praying the Rosary, with each decade (a set of ten Hail Marys) devoted to one of these events.
