1st Glorious Mystery: the Resurrection of Jesus
On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright, the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!” (Luke 24:1-6)
Second Glorious Mystery: Jesus' Ascension to Heaven
After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven, and he sat at the right hand of God. (Mark 16:19)
Third Glorious Mystery: the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. (Acts 2:1-4)
Fourth Glorious Mystery: the Assumption of Mary
From now on, all generations will call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me. (Luke 1:48-49)
Fifth Glorious Mystery: the Coronation of Mary
A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and a crown of twelve stars on her head. (Revelation 12:1)
