May Crowning Hymn

Every month I author a short story about an old "new" Catholic hymn. In anticipation of the Month of May, a special time set aside by the Catholic Church to honor our Blessed Mother, I’ve decided to release this month’s story a little early. This story is about the most widely used and well-loved of all Marian hymns for May Crowning: “Bring Flowers of the Rarest,” sometimes referred to as the Crowning Hymn because of its chorus, “O Mary, We Crown Thee with Blossoms Today.”

Even though other hymns were composed, this hymn was never superseded. Take a few minutes to read about the author and composer of this wonderful hymn and listen to the singing of the hymn by St. Mary’s Choir - a real old-fashion Catholic choir! Be sure to share this story with your priest, music director, and friends.
