When it gets dark in the garden, these lanterns light up to make the garden a cheery and bright place. The roses and other flowers in the rosary garden are happy to have lights at night. The lanterns are supposed to remind us that Jesus is the light, and He never goes away. The first lantern has many designs. The first luminous mystery is the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan.The Jordan was a river where John the Baptist baptized people. Remember John from the Second Joyful Mystery? Well, now, he baptizes people.
Jesus went to the Jordan to be baptized by John. John wanted Jesus to baptize him. But John baptized Jesus because Jesus wanted him to.
When Jesus was being baptized, a voice came from heaven. It said:
"THIS IS MY BELOVED SON OF WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED!"
