Apart from the signal defeat of the Albigensian heretics at the battle of Muret
in 1213 which legend has attributed to the recitation of the Rosary by St.
Dominic, it is believed that Heaven has on many occasions rewarded the faith of
those who had recourse to this devotion in times of special danger. More
particularly, the naval victory of Lepanto gained by Don John of Austria over
the Turkish fleet on the first Sunday of October in 1571 responded wonderfully
to the processions made at Rome on that same day by the members of the Rosary
confraternity. St. Pius V thereupon ordered that a commemoration of the Rosary
should be made upon that day, and at the request of the Dominican Order Gregory
XIII in 1573 allowed this feast to be kept in all churches which possessed an
altar dedicated to the Holy Rosary. In 1671 the observance of this festival was
extended by Clement X to the whole of Spain, and somewhat later Clement XI after
the important victory over the Turks gained by Prince Eugene on 6 August, 1716
(the feast of our Lady of the Snows), at Peterwardein in Hungary, commanded the
feast of the Rosary to be celebrated by the universal Church. A set of "proper"
lessons in the second nocturn were conceded by Benedict XIII. Leo XIII has since
raised the feast to the rank of a double of the second class and has added to
the Litany of Loreto the invocation "Queen of the Most Holy Rosary". On this
feast, in every church in which the Rosary confraternity has been duly erected,
a plenary indulgence toties quoties is granted upon certain conditions to all
who visit therein the Rosary chapel or statue of Our Lady. This has been called
the "Portiuncula" of the Rosary.
