May 3 – Mary Queen of Poland – Poland’s Act of Consecration to Mary (1966)

Missionary of the Rosary on Arabic television

Yacoub, a young 23-year-old Palestinian singer, native of Jerusalem, with a busy career, has never been ashamed or afraid to share his Christian faith. The young man, an Orthodox Syriac, hosted the Christmas festival in Jerusalem. He often sings religious songs, easily switching from Arabic to Syriac.

Yacoub may have remembered these words of Christ: "He who is ashamed of me or of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man also will be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

Indeed, in the last broadcasts of 'Arab idol,' the Arabic television equivalent of ‘The Voice,’ everyone could notice the Rosary with a cross on the young Christian’s wrist. The show, funded by a production house in Saudi Arabia, has an overwhelming majority of Muslim viewers. However, the symbol of his faith sported by the young singer did not cost him the victory, quite the contrary. Knowing the happiness and the luck that Jesus and Mary would bring him, he kept those religious signs on him, wrapped around the hand that held the microphone!
