Geocache Description:


This cache is hidden at Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Church, between the church building and the rectory (the pastor's house).  It's hidden by the pastor, so it's okay.  You do not need to go inside the fence, into the back yard, to access the cache.

"Queen of the Most Holy Rosary" is a title given to Mary, the Mother of Jesus, a title that has roots as far back as the 1500s.  It relates to the seemingly miraculous victory of the Holy League Navy over the Ottomon Empire Navy at the Battle of Lepanto, a battle that may have saved Christian Europe, back in 1571.  As the battle began, the Pope asked everyone to pray the Rosary for a victory, which was granted.  In gratitude, the Pope added a celebration on the Church's calendar in honor of "Our Lady of the Rosary."  In the following centuries, the title morphed into "Queen of the Most Holy Rosary."  Catholics have always prayed to (but never worshipped) Mary, to ask that she bring our needs to her divine Son, Jesus.  Catholics believe this is always the role of Mary: to bring us and our needs to Jesus, her Son, much as Christians pray for one another to God.

The cache is a small "decon" container.  When hidden, it contained a small pencil, log book, a "North Dakota Legenday" pin, a patriotic cross pin, a Rosary coin, and a "hope" rock.
