Mary

May is the month of Our Lady.
When I was in grade school we had a "May Crowning.
Every Spring the young girls
wore long, tiered, pastel dresses and carried bouquets,
(we were called flower girls)
in a procession to place a crown of flowers on a statue of Mary.
I don't remember ever actually having the honor of "crownée".
