The "Seven Sorrows" refers to a traditional devotion in the Catholic Church that focuses on the sorrows experienced by the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. This devotion highlights seven key events in Mary's life that caused her deep grief, including the prophecy of Simeon, the flight into Egypt, and the crucifixion of her son. Each sorrow is meant to encourage reflection on the suffering and compassion of Mary, as well as to foster a deeper connection to the passion of Christ. The devotion is often practiced through prayer, meditation, and the recitation of the Rosary, specifically the "Rosary of the Seven Sorrows."
