Our homeschool group hosted our fifth annual May Crowning with a huge turn-out and glorious spring weather.
As usual, we all dressed up and brought flowers ( many from the yard), on the first Friday of May.
Our celebration included four Marion Hymns including Immaculate Mary and Sing of Mary, Pure and Lowly.
We prayed the Litany of Loretto asking for Mary's intercession under all her titles, including Help of Christians and Ark of the Covenant.
Every year, our group has a few boys and girls who are making their First Communion. Our ceremony allows for those boys to lead the procession and those girls to actually place a crown covered in roses around the head of Our Lady.
After the saying the Fifth Decade of the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary, we attended the 12 noon Mass offered by our Pastor. He then "invested" each child with a blessed Miraculous Medal.
After Mass, we headed for the park for a covered dish lunch!
This turned out to be so pleasant and fun, that people stayed together at the park for hours.
It was a great day for both the kids and the parents! We mixed celebrating the beauty of our Faith with good food and good friends and were blessed with gorgeous weather to enjoy it all in... Thank You, Lord!.
