In a history of St Marien Catholic Church in Oythe, amt Vechta, I found the
following sentence
Die entdeckten Bilder stellen in den Deckgewolben jeweils vier Geheimnisse
des Rosenkranzes dar.
Which I interpret as:
In the ceiling, the pictures represent, respectively, the four mysteries of
the rosary.
Can anyone explain the mysteries? All I can find in that timeframe are
three mysteries - Joyful, Glorious, Sorrowful. A fourth, Luminous, was added a
few years ago and would not be on the ceiling.
