Glorious Mysteries are part of the Mysteries of the Rosary and are meditations on episodes of the life of Jesus, Annunciation to the Ascension and beyond.

These are part of the Mysteries that are grouped by five into sets, the Joyful (or Joyous) Mysteries, the Sorrowful Mysteries, the Glorious Mysteries and the Luminous Mysteries.
Listed below are the glorious mysteries which are usually prayed on a Sunday and Wednesday.
The Glorious Mysteries focus on the resurrection of Jesus and the glories of heaven: The Resurrection (John 20:1–29); The Ascension (Luke 24:36–53); The Descent of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1–41); The Assumption of Mary, the Mother of God, into heaven; The Coronation of Mary in heaven.

With a Rosary the fingers are moved along the beads as the prayers are recited, the mind should be left free to meditate on the mysteries. A five decade rosary contains five groups of ten beads (a decade), with additional large beads before each decade.The Hail Mary is said on the ten beads within a decade, while the Lords Prayer is said on the large bead before each decade.
