At the Visitation, Elizabeth calls Mary mother of my Lord. As in all the mysteries of Mary s life, she is closely associated with Jesus: Her queenship is a share in Jesus kingship.

Later Church fathers and doctors continued to use the title. Hymns of the 11th to 13th centuries address Mary as queen: Hail, Holy Queen, Hail, Queen of Heaven, Queen of Heaven.

The feast is a logical follow-up to the Assumption, and is now celebrated on the octave day of that feast.

4 In memory of Deceased Members of Holy Name Society Requested Holy Name Society In memory of Churck & Tom Poidevin Requested by Poidevin Family The Story of the Queenship of Mary Pope Pius XII established this feast in But Mary s queenship has roots in Scripture. At the Annunciation, Gabriel announced that Mary s Son would receive the throne of David and rule forever. At the Visitation, Elizabeth calls Mary mother of my Lord. As in all the mysteries of Mary s life, she is closely associated with Jesus: Her queenship is a share in Jesus kingship. We can also recall that in the Old Testament the mother of the king has great influence in court. In the fourth century Saint Ephrem called Mary Lady and Queen. Later Church fathers and doctors continued to use the title. Hymns of the 11th to 13th centuries address Mary as queen: Hail, Holy Queen, Hail, Queen of Heaven, Queen of Heaven. The Dominican rosary and the Franciscan crown as well as numerous invocations in Mary s litany celebrate her queenship. The feast is a logical follow-up to the Assumption, and is now celebrated on the octave day of that feast. In his 1954 encyclical To the Queen of Heaven, Pius XII points out that Mary deserves the title because she is Mother of God, because she is closely associated as the New Eve with Jesus redemptive work, because of her preeminent perfection, and because of her intercessory power.
