The Glorious Mysteries are centered on the resurrection of Jesus Christ and His ascension into heaven.
Additionally, the mysteries highlight key facts about the coming of the Holy Spirit and the assumption of Mary, the Blessed Mother, into heaven.

The Ascension
-Jesus Christ ascends into heaven in his physical form.
The Coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost
The disciples are filled with the Holy Spirit as Jesus had promised before His ascension.
The Assumption of Mary Into Heaven
-According to Marian dogmas, Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, was taken into heaven body and soul after her time on earth.
The Coronation of Mary
-Catholicism teaches that Mary was crowned the Queen of Heaven and Earth.
Final Verdict
When saying the rosary, catholic adherents recite the Apostle’s Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, Hail Mary, and Glory Be as instructed by the church.
The meditations of the rosary enable members of the church to have a deeper understanding and appreciation not only of Jesus Christ but also Mary, the Blessed Mother.
There are four sets of mysteries for a total of 20 mysteries. —Source: Catholicism Website
