The Mysteries of the Holy Rosary

Traditionally, different Mysteries of the Rosary have been allocated to different days of the week.  There are no strict rules, but a recommended practice is as follows:

The Joyful Mysteries:  Mondays, Saturdays

The Luminous Mysteries: Thursdays

The Sorrowful Mysteries: Tuesdays, Fridays

The Glorious Mysteries: Wednesdays, Sundays

Customary changes to this pattern may arise during certain liturgical seasons of the year.  So for example, on Sundays during Advent and Christmas the Joyful Mysteries are often said, and in a similar way, the Sorrowful Mysteries on Sundays during Lent, and the Glorious Mysteries on Sundays of Eastertide.
