Month of May - Crowning of Mary
Our Lady, Queen of Heaven
These photos above are just some of the incredible collections
featured in the book, The Virgin by Marie-France Boyer.
Boyer traveled the world photographing special images,
shrines, statues, and hearts all devoted to our
Blessed Mother.
I have always been captivated by the image of the Sacred Heart,
I own several but they are all reproductions of antiques and oh, so special to me.
You find a lot of symbols in the Spanish culture and there are always Sacred Hearts to be found.
Most hearts open with a compartment to store your
religious treasures or to tuck in prayer
for the name of a loved one.
When this you see,
think of the love our Lord has for
you and me.

I stumbled on the solution to my blogger problem.....
I needed to download the Foxfire, Mozilla browser.
Guess I just missed that memo from Blogger.
I plan on joining a few parties, there is lots to catch up on.
I've missed you all and can't wait to see your newest
redo, garden and yummy recipe.

The title of your post brought back such memories of childhood, when May was full of beautiful hymns and celebrations. I remember wearing a white dress one Sunday to take part in the crowning of Mary. Your hearts are lovely!
