SEVEN JOYS AND SORROWS OF MARY

In the Middle Ages a series of devotions grew up around the events of Mary’s life. They were called the Seven Joys of Mary, the happy events in her life as the mother of Christ—the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Adoration of the Magi, the Presentation in the Temple, Christ among the Doctors, the Assumption, and the Coronation. The Seven Sorrows of Mary represent the tragic events in her life—the Prophecy of Simeon at the Presentation in the Temple, the Flight into Egypt, Christ Lost on the Way to Jerusalem, the Betrayal of Christ, the Crucifixion, the Deposition, and the Entombment. (See also Jesus Christ.)
