Mois de Mai, mois de Marie

Since the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church has consecrated the month of May to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

In the Catholic world, the faithful honor the Blessed Virgin Mary in a special way during the month of May. Processions to honor the Virgin take place in many locations and the believers pray with greater fervor the different prayers that are consecrated to Mary and especially the Rosary (to pray the Rosary in Hebrew here).

In 1965, Pope Paul VI, in a special letter for the month of May, encouraged the faithful to preserve this tradition. He wrote there: « May she who experienced the cares and hardships of earthly life, the weariness of daily toil, the hardships and trials of poverty, and the sorrows of Calvary, come to aid the needs of the Church and the human race ».
