May is Mary’s month!  And during May, throughout the Catholic world, special devotions honor the Virgin Mary.  “May Crowning” is a traditional Catholic ritual that occurs in the month of May and it recognizes Mary as Queen of heaven and earth.  Since medieval times, there has been a correlation between Mary and the month of May. May is considered the season of the beginning of new life.  “May Crowning” marks a new spiritual season. Our Mary, Queen of heaven and earth, lifted us right out of the last long, cold days of winter and firmly planted our hearts in the warm and promising soil of spring.(https://walktomary.com/event/may-crowning/)

You and your family can participate in this tradition in your own home! Marian Hymns can be sung or listened to and prayers such as the Angelus or Regina Caeli can be introduced into your prayer life. You can even crown and venerate an image or statue of the Blessed Mother that you hold dear!
