THE CROWNING OF MARY QUEEN OF HEAVEN

THE CROWNING OF MARY
QUEEN OF HEAVEN

By his encyclical Ad Caeli Reginam, Pope Pius XII, recognising traditional precedents, proclaimed the "Queenship of Mary". While May devotions may differ in various countries, the Marian title Queen of May exists identically in several countries as manifested in Marian songs such as:


Hail Virgin, dearest Mary! Our lovely Queen of May! O spotless, blessed Lady, Our lovely Queen of May. Your children, humbly bending, Surround your shrine ... 

O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today!
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May.
O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today,
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May.
