This gallery records the Coronation of the Virgin Mary at the Shrine of Saint Philomena in Miami, dated May 6, 2018 in the parish archive. May crowning is a traditional expression of love for Our Lady: the crown honors her queenship and turns the faithful toward the virtues of the Mother of God. The SSPX's Regina Coeli Report describes May as a season of Marian devotion and notes the association of crowning ceremonies with parish life and First Communions. That general tradition provides a setting for understanding the occasion shown here; the gallery itself is the parish's photographic record. The archive also includes later crowning celebrations and other events honoring Our Lady. Return to the past-event directory to explore those occasions, or visit the devotion pages for the Holy Rosary and traditional prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
