Christian feast day: Our Lady Mystical Rose

Rosa Mystica is a poetic title of Mary. One form of Marian devotion is invoking Virgin Mary's prayers by calling upon her using a litany of diverse titles, and the title 'Mystical Rose' is found in the Litany of Loreto. It is also a Catholic title of Our Lady based on the Marian apparitions reported between 1947 and 1966 by Pierina Gilli at Montichiari and Fontanelle, in Italy.

July 13 is the 194th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar; 171 days remain until the end of the year.
