Title: May Crowning Post by: CyrilSebastian on October 28, 2014, 09:07:32 PM When I was in Catholic grade school, a May Crowning was held yearly.
Is a May Crowning a religious requirement in the Roman Catholic Church? :flower: :flower: :flower: :flower: :flower: :flower: :flower: :flower: :flower: Title: Re: May Crowning Post by: Poche on October 29, 2014, 05:54:07 AM No it is not a requirement. But it is a very good custom.

Or can this event be held in any other month? The Church dedicates each month of the year ( and each day of the week) to a special devotion. May is traditionally dedicated to Our Lady, The Blessed Virgin Mary. That is why special devotions, to her are done in May.

Title: Re: May Crowning Post by: CyrilSebastian on May 01, 2021, 06:04:54 PM During the Holy Mass on May Crowning day, a wreath of flowers is placed on the statue of Mary. The act of crowning is rooted in the view of Mary as the Queen of Heaven. Title: Re: May Crowning Post by: Shin on May 01, 2021, 11:15:56 PM 'Ever since Blessed Alan de la Roche re-established this devotion the voice of the people, which is the voice of God, called it the Rosary. The word Rosary means "Crown of Roses" that is to say that every time people say the Rosary devoutly they place a crown of one hundred and fifty-three red roses and sixteen white roses upon the heads of Jesus and Mary. Being heavenly flowers these roses will never fade or lose their exquisite beauty.'

Title: Re: May Crowning Post by: CyrilSebastian on November 11, 2022, 05:23:50 PM Some churches opt for the celebrating of May Crowning on Mother's Day. Others do it as soon as the month of May begins.
