We Honor Mary




St.Mary's, Bellevue, NE
6th Grade

   At my school, we honor Mary with a May Crowning. Students place beautiful bouquets of flowers in front of a statue of Mary. Then, the eighth-graders place roses in vases. After we do this, everyone sings Ave Maria. I think this is one of my favorite things we do in church because it's very pretty. It feels very holy in the church after we crown Mary, and I think that's a very nice time to pray. To pray for guidance, and to pray for compassion.
