The May Crowning has become an especially popular ceremony, during which hymns or special songs are sung while a wreath of flowers is placed on the head of a statue of Mary. The crowning honors Mary as the Queen of Heaven, since she is the mother of Christ the King. During these devotions which make use of a statue to honor the Holy Mother of God, Catholics must always heed the teaching of the church: "Images are venerated not because of a belief that these images themselves possess anything of divinity or power, but because the honor shown them is directed to the prototypes they represent." (Council of Trent). Indeed, honor should always be shown to Jesus’ Blessed Mother, as the Gospel says, "all generations shall call [her] blessed."
