When to say the Sunday and Special Day Meditations
of the Protestant rosary

Normally you pray the

Joyful Mystery on Monday and Thursday

Sorrowful Mystery on Tuesday and Friday

Glorious Mystery on Wednesday and Saturday

Sunday's Mystery depends on the church's liturgical year as do some special days.

There are some days (Epiphany, Ash Wednesday, Holy Week, Ascension, All Saints' Day, Christmas) which do not follow the day of the week's mystery, but the day celebrated mystery.
