+ Second Sorrowful Mystery: The Scourging at the Pillar
The Second Sorrowful Mystery of the Rosary is the Scourging at Pillar. It's a meditation on the scourging of Christ on the orders of Pontius Pilate, before he was taken away to die.
The Scourging at the Pillar (John 19:1-3)
The gospels briefly describe the scourging of Jesus in a matter-of-fact way. He was probably tied to a pillar and then flogged.
