Origin and history

The Roman cathedral of Lund (12th century) has a famous 15th century astronomical watch. Twice a day the worship of the Magi, who bow before the Virgin Mary with the Child situada en el centro del reloj, mientras suena el himno «In dulci jubilo». Es una de las joyas marianas medievales de Escandinavia.

Link to the Rosary

In this land where faith has known centuries, trials, and resurgences, the Rosary remains the simple thread that unites our hearts with Mary. To pray it here is to join the generations who, through this same devotion, entrusted their lives, their communities, and their hope to the Mother.
