The Feast of Mary, Help of Christians is celebrated on May 24. The tradition of this devotion goes back to 1571, when the whole of Christendom was saved by Mary, Help of Christians when Catholics throughout Europe prayed the Rosary. The great battle of Lepanto occurred on October 7,1571. For this reason, this date has been chosen as the feast of the Holy Rosary. In 1573, Pope Pius V instituted the feast in thanksgiving for the decisive victory of Christianity over Islam.
