===Commemoration=== [[File:Battle of Lepanto by Martin Rota.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Battle of Lepanto by [[Martin Rota]], 1572 print, Venice]] The Holy League credited the victory to the [[Veneration of Mary in Roman Catholicism|Virgin Mary]], whose [[intercession]] with God they had implored for victory through the use of the [[Rosary]]. Andrea Doria had kept a copy of the miraculous image of [[Our Lady of Guadalupe]] given to him by King Philip II of Spain in his ship's state room.<ref>{{cite book|last=Badde|first=Paul|title=Maria von Guadalupe. Wie das Erscheinen der Jungfrau Weltgeschichte schrieb|year=2005|isbn=3-548-60561-3}}</ref> [[Pope Pius V]] instituted a new Catholic feast day of Our Lady of Victory to commemorate the battle, which is now celebrated by the [[Catholic Church]] as the feast of [[Our Lady of the Rosary]].<ref>Alban Butler, ''Butler's Lives Of The Saints'' (1999), p. 222. See also [[EWTN]] on ''Battle of Lepanto (1571)'' [http://www.ewtn.com/library/mary/olislam.htm].</ref> Dominican friar Juan Lopez in his 1584 book on the rosary states that the feast of the rosary was offered "in memory and in perpetual gratitude of the miraculous victory that the Lord gave to his Christian people that day against the Turkish armada".<ref>''Libro en que se tratea de la importancia y exercicio del santo rosario'', Zaragoza: Domingo Portonariis y Ursino (1584), cited after Lorenzo F.
