May: The Month of Mary. Why?
Mary in the month of May – why? May has been dedicated to Mary in many cultures. It is considered the season of the beginning of new life in the Northern hemisphere. In Roman culture, May was dedicated to Flora, the goddess of bloom, of blossoms. The Romans celebrated ludi florals (literally: floral games) at the end of April, asking the intercession of Flora for all that blooms. It is also related to the medieval practice of expelling winter.
Our school is celebrating this month by praying the Hail Mary in each morning session.
