The queen symbol was attributed to Mary because she was a perfect follower of Christ, who is the absolute โcrownโ of creation. She is the Mother of the Son of God, who is the messianic King. Mary is the Mother of Christ, the Word Incarnate โฆ โHe will be great and will be called Son of the Most High; the Lord will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of His kingdom there will be no end.โ Elizabeth greeted the Blessed Virgin, pregnant with Jesus, as โthe mother of my Lord.โ Mary is the perfect follower of Christ. The maid of Nazareth consented to Godโs plan; she journeyed on the pilgrimage of faith; she listened to Godโs Word and kept it in her heart; she remained steadfastly in close union with her Son, all the way to the foot of the Cross; she persevered in prayer with the Church. Thus, in an eminent way, she won the โcrown of righteousness,โ โthe crown of life,โ โthe crown of gloryโ that is promised to those who follow Christ. //Ritual Order of Crowning - Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship, #JPII #MayCrowning #MotherofGod #QueenofHeaven #marymostholy #MotherofMyLord #MaidofNazareth #blessedvirgin #perfectfollower #blessedamongwomen #LettheChildrenComewithHer #WakingEve https://www.instagram.com/wakingeve/p/BxaowoOHjog/?igshid=1ed3ywjq7vnwl
