What are the 5 Mysteries?
1. The Baptism of Jesus by John in Jordan. The sky opened up and God himself spoke with the large group of followers waiting to be baptised by John. John stated: Behold, the Lamb of God
2. The Wedding in Cana, when Jesus turned water into wine
3. The proclamation of the Kingdom. According to scripture Jesus rarely spoke a word. A large gathering came to hear him speak. This is when Jesus stated that Peter was given the keys to heaven
4. The Transfiguration. John, James and Peter were taken up to the mountains with Jesus to pray. It was there when the transfiguration took place, and Jesus experienced the Passion while covered in light. It was then that God spoke to John, James and Peter and a cloud opened up in the sky. God told John, James and Peter to listen to Jesus as he is my son.
5. The Eucharist. The last supper. When Jesus gives his body and blood to all who believes in him.
The 5 mysteries represent the 5 decades of a Rosary. A Rosary is called a Prayer counter because it helps one focus on the mysteries one bead at a time.

The "Luminous Mysteries" as you have listed above were a fabrication by the late John Paul II and were not given by The Blessed Mother.
God Bless you for your good efforts in promoting The Saints.
