The Blessed Mother gives the rosary to St. Dominic in the 18th-century painting by Andrea Barbiani of the Madonna with St. Dominic and St. Catherine of Siena in the Basilica di Santa Maria del Porto in Ravenna, Italy.
Participants in the novena are asked to recite the novena prayer on the 30th of each month but are also welcome to pray the novena more frequently and to pray five decades of the rosary along with the novena.
