THE MARY MINUTE. Marian trivia, quotes and more by Bro. John Samaha. Christian Europe was threatened by the Ottoman Turkish Empire in the sixteenth century. The powerful Turkish fleet was poised to strike in 1571. Pope St. Pius V, a Dominican, called on all of Europe to pray the rosary and implore our Blessed Mother's help. The fleet of several Christian countries was outnumbered five to one. When the two fleets clashed in the Gulf of Lepanto off the coast of Greece on Oct. 1, the battle turned in favor of the Christian ships and the Turks were defeated. In thanksgiving the pope declared a new feast in honor of Our Lady of Victory. This became the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, celebrated on Oct. 7 in the month on the holy rosary.
