During the month of May, Catholics celebrate the crowning of Mary, where a crown is placed on Mary’s head with flowers.
Dr. Robert FastiggiFastiggi said dating back to the Middle Ages Christians began honoring Mary through various month long celebrations during May.
Fastiggi said in the Catholic Church, the reality of Easter and it’s promise of new life is often symbolized by flowers, as spring itself represents the season of growth. He said since flowers represent new life and Catholics believe Mary’s motherhood of Jesus plays a major role in the new life brought by Easter, she is honored with flowers.Fastiggi explained how the tradition of the May crowning helps Catholics appreciate Mary as the Queen Mother who they believe reigns in heaven with Jesus Christ, their King. You may also see Mary statues with rosaries.
You can find a mural of Mary in the 700 block of San Pedro, in the 900 block of E. Elmira Street and in the 1300 block of Guadalupe Street. Inside San Fernando Cathedral, located at 115 Main Plaza, has a shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe and other beautiful statues honoring Mary.
