FEAST OF THE
CORONATION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
August 22
Coronation is one form of reverence frequently shown to
images of the Blessed Virgin Mary. ... It is especially from the end of the
sixteenth century that in the West the practice became widespread for the
faithful, both religious and laity, to crown images of the Blessed Virgin. The
popes not only endorsed this devout custom but "on many occasions, either
personally or through bishop-delegates, carried out the coronation of Marian
images."
- Pope Pius XII
