Queen of Heaven

Queen Mary, latin Maria Regina is a Marian feast ( optional memorial ) in the liturgical year of the Catholic Church on August 22. The feast was instituted by Pope Pius XII. 1954 introduced the conclusion of the Marian year.

Beliefs

At the feast of Mary Queen Mother of God is celebrated as the Queen of Heaven. It is therefore Queen of the Angels and Saints. This is linked to the age-old motif of the Coronation of the Virgin, which is shown in the Western Christian art, particularly on altarpieces often and is meditating in the Rosary as the last of the glorious mysteries: Jesus, you, O Virgin, crowned in heaven ( Rev 12:1 EU). The risen and exalted Christ, even presented with a royal crown, crowns his glorious shot into the sky mother.
