Crowning of Mary in Ireland May 14, 2023

On this Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary it seemed timely to share some lovely photos from a Children's Rosary group's May Crowning of Mary that was held in Magherafelt Parish Co Derrry in Ireland on May 14, 2023. 


The children began with a procession before the Crowning. The children then knelt for a Children's Rosary and they placed roses before a statue of Mary.

 The group leader shared of the day, "It was beautiful. We worked hard to make mantilla veils for each girl. I had a problem about who might take pictures and prayed about it. The night before a rosary group mum messaged asking permission for her father (a professional photographer!) to take pictures. Our Blessed Mother took care of things again!" The group leader went on to share:

After the Crowning, one of the children exclaimed " Look the sun is shining through the clouds right on Our Lady!" 



One of the members of the Children's Rosary in the group is a professional cake maker and made this lovely cake for the children to share after the Rosary.



The youngest of the group crowned Mary with the help of her father. (shown above)
One of the group leaders had purchased white dresses at second hand shops to be worn that day which made it extra special for the children. One of the children even had gold flowers in her hair as we see below.
