Mothers Day Crowning of Mary at HFP
Tradition: As are all flowers,
the month of May is dedicated to the Mary, whom we celebrate as Queen of Heaven
during the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the last day
of this month. Early in May, a statue of the Virgin at church is crowned with a
wreath of roses, and the same are placed at her feet. Little girls and boys
dress up in their best, often in blue; one child carries the crown on a cushion
to the statue and another child is chosen to crown the statue. The selection
process varies -- sometimes a boy is chosen to bear the wreath, but always a
girl is chosen to crown the statue (usually the oldest girl). The flowers remain
throughout the month.
Bring flow'rs of the
fairest,
Bring flow'rs of the
rarest,
From garden and
woodland
And hillside and
vale;
Our full hearts are
swelling,
Our glad voices
telling
The praise of the
loveliest
Rose of the vale.
O Mary! we crown
thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels,
Queen of the May.
