The Luminous Mysteries as Mysteries of Change

The Luminous Mysteries, which are usually associated with the theme of “Light” can also be seen as mysteries of “Change.”

These mysteries were introduced by Pope St. John Paul II on Oct. 16, 2002, and are made up of five meditations on key events during the public ministry of Jesus Christ.
