The Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary are said on Saturdays. The Joyful Mysteries consist of five events in the life of Jesus and Mary, which are:
- The Annunciation: Angel Gabriel tells Mary she will conceive the child Jesus.
- The Visitation: Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth.
- The Birth of Jesus: Jesus is born in Bethlehem.
- The Presentation of Jesus at the Temple: Mary and Joseph present Jesus at the Temple.
- The Finding of Jesus in the Temple: Jesus is found in the Temple after being lost for three days.
These mysteries are traditionally prayed on Mondays, Saturdays, and Sundays of Advent.
