When I was growing up a Catholic, I crowned Mary. It was a statue of Mary but Catholics believe that Mary could be prayed to for intercessory prayer. And every year Mary was crowned, in an event called the "May Crowning". It was an honor as the other kids sang "Mother Mary now we crown thee"...the little white roses crowned her beautifully and we all revered her and her position in God's kingdom. But I think more importantly Jesus is the one that should wear the crown. For He is our savior, king and ruler of all of us. He and He alone should be the one we worship and adore. While Mary played a significant role in the raising of Christ and as one who is without sin or blemish, Jesus was actually the one who was without sin or blemish. He is the reason we can be saved. May we never forget this.
