May Crowning

Dear everyone,

May is traditionally dedicated to Mary in many cultures. May is considered the season of the beginning of new life. To celebrate this devotion, many churches have a daily recitation of the rosary. Some include the crowning of Our Lady's statue (May crowning).

May crowning became popular in the United States, especially prior to Vatican II. This practice continues in many parishes today. A statue of Mary is honored with a wreath of blossoms to indicate Mary's virtues, virtues that were to be imitated by the faithful. The important thing is that Mary be honored in a special way.

In honor of Mary, we would be praying the Rosary during Worship tomorrow during our meeting, followed by Bible Studies on a series of Joan of Arcadia, themed "Secret". Bring along a rosary and join us at SR 1.1, Block E OF KPD from 12pm-2pm.

Agape,

Magdalene
