The month of May is devoted tohonoring the Blessed Virgin Mary.
I remember as a child making
a May altar in my bedroom
on the first day of May.
Each day I would try my best to bring
fresh flowers to place before the
beautiful statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Many days I would visit my neighbors homes
and ask if I could please have
some of their flowers.
A few times I only had
dandelions to give to the Blessed Mother.

Ohmygosh, did you ever bring back memories for me. I remember as a little girl being dressed in white and taking part in a procession at church to honor the Blessed Mother early in May. Goodness, I haven't thought about that for years and years. Thanks...I needed that!

We pray the Rosary in church every May and October and it is so nice to hear all the voices saying the same prayer.
God bless.
Mary,
That picture of Blessed Mother is absolutely stunning. May I borrow it for my personal use??
Sending much love;)

I found you on Forever Jann and wanted to know what you charge for a background and where I can go to purchase one? I don't see any prices or sites where I can go to do this.
Thanks

Oh, my! I had forgotten about those May altars--we always had a "May Crowning" at school when I was growing up, where the whole school would take part and we'd have a parade all around the playground, ending with some lucky student who was chosen to crown the big statue of Mary.
