For the meditative contemplation of the faithful during the prayer of the Rosary, there are several text variants. According to ancient tradition, the Church knows three versions – referred to as "Mysteries" (from the Greek "Mysterion", which in theology means the revelation of something that would not be accessible to us humans without God's help"): the 'Joyful Mysteries' / the 'Sorrowful Mysteries' / the 'Glorious Mysteries'. His Holiness Pope John Paul II supplemented them in October 2002 with the Apostolic Letter "Rosarium Virginis Mariae" by adding the 'Luminous Mysteries'. Furthermore, it is not at all uncommon for a Rosary devotion in various parishes or groups to be expanded with formulations. A special variant, which I once found on a prayer sheet and would like to present here, is the "Peace Rosary", in which the five mysteries are as follows: + Jesus, at whose birth angels announced peace (cf. Lk 2:8-14) + Jesus, who directs our steps on the path of peace (cf. Lk 1:67-79) + Jesus, who has blessed those who peacemake (cf. Mt 5:3-12a) + Jesus, who sent his disciples to bring peace (cf. Mt 10:7-13) + Jesus, who has left us his peace (cf. Jn 14:23-27)

Magnificent church and a good bakery on the square.

We particularly enjoyed the history of the town, situated on the Meuse River. The beautiful town hall was built in 1847/48 on the site of a monastery in the Italian Renaissance style. In front of the town hall stands the gigantic equestrian statue of Joan of Arc, revered by the French. This cast-iron monument weighs 2.5 tons. Joan is said to have conquered the city. There is also a Joan of Arc Museum in the town.

An unusual church because of its shape (round). To the left of the gate there is a water tap.

The cult of the Virgin is ancient in Lorraine, particularly on the Hill of Sion. The apparitions of Lourdes after those of La Salette mark the souls of a very Christianized population in the countryside. Pilgrimages to Lourdes gained momentum in the 1880s. In 1883, there were 1,600 pilgrims from Lorraine. The momentum was given. The idea naturally came to evoke or reproduce the Massabielle cave. https://www.bruley.mairie54.fr/fr/la-replique-de-la-grotte-de-lourdes.html

The general plan of the Rosary Chapel is reminiscent of the Rosary Basilica in Lourdes. It was built from 1892 to 1894 to the plans of the architect Jacquemin at the initiative of Canon Demange and then his brother. The chapel has three alveoli for the three mysteries: joyful mystery, painful mystery, glorious mystery. Each cell has five windows and five tables. The entire esplanade and the Rosary chapel were listed in the supplementary inventory of Historic Monuments in July 2005. https://www.bruley.mairie54.fr/fr/la-chapelle-du-rosaire.html

In addition to its beautiful church, Euville has the particularity of having a town hall placed under the sign of Art Nouveau. This magnificent building is open to visitors on request.

Vaucouleurs takes its name from this part of the Meuse river, called Val des Couleurs. This Joan of Arc town (dedicated to Joan of Arc) was located a few kilometers from the front during the First World War. Today, it is a charming village with many streams and beautiful forests.
