Feast of the Queenship of Mary

The feast of the Queenship of Mary is more than just another way of honoring Mary as the mother of Jesus; it is also a reminder that through our adoption at baptism, all of us are “kings and queens” in the Kingdom of God. The tradition pf celebrating Mary as queen of heaven began approximately in the 4th century, with various saints and Church fathers referring to Mary as “lady” and “queen” over the centuries. The basic idea is that if Jesus is “king,” then it is fitting that Mary, his mother, would share in his reign as queen.
