Having grown up in the '60's and '70's as I did, I was deprived of many a Catholic cultural experience. In all my 12 years of Catholic schooling, I only experienced a May Crowning once, that I remember.Today, I decided to get in touch with my inner Catholic child. So, I bought some (fake) roses on wire stems and made a crown of flowers for our Immaculate Heart of Mary statue. I don't have a current picture for you, but the picture on the right is a black and white of the statue itself that ds took. Just imagine the crown of pink roses on it.
What a beautiful statue of Our Lady...You are blessed indeed.

Yes, we are!
ReplyDeleteI remember in elementary school having "May processions." We even did the May pole thing once or twice and ended with crowning the Blessed Mother. I remember I was bummed because I was never picked to be the one to do the crowning. I don't think we did it every year, but at least a few times when I was younger.
