Claudio Centa wrote that, after the victory of Lepanto on October 7, 1571, Pius V established the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary for that date. He added that the Venetian fleet was dedicated to Saint Justina, a Padua martyr celebrated on the same day, and mentioned Doge Alvise Mocenigo in relation to the commemoration of the victory. https://t.co/lrGbF0x9mU #Lepanto #MadonnadelRosario #Storia (translated)
