Description:
It is a tradition here at St. Agnes’ Loreto Day School to honour Mary, our Heavenly Mother, during the month of May by placing on her statue a crown of flowers to signify her honour as Queen of Heaven and Earth. Crowning gives the faithful, but children in particular, an opportunity to especially honour the Blessed Mother of Jesus, and to give thanks to her for bringing our Saviour into the world.
On 1st May 2023, our school organized a solemn service for the Crowning of our Lady. Euphonious hymns were sung in harmonious tones by the students. Petitions and Decades of the Rosary were said in the name of Jesus and Mary. The children enacted a short skit depicting the life of Mother Mary. The aura created on this day was indeed glorious and luminous and everyone rejoiced the Crowning of our Mother Mary. A graceful prayer dance was put forth by the talented students. The graceful flower girls of the junior school looked just like angels who were sent from heaven above to crown our Lady with a garland of fragrant and freshly picked flowers. The ceremony ended when the procession of Sisters, Teachers and students walked over to the grotto to light the candles and to crown our Lady.
