Holy month of Mary and how it all started 🙏🙏.../The May devotion in... (Harîssa, Mont-Liban, Lebanon) Holy month of Mary and how it all started 🙏🙏 . . . /The May devotion in its present form originated at Rome where Father Latomia of the Roman College of the Society of Jesus, to counteract infidelity and immorality among the students, made a vow at the end of the eighteenth century to devote the month of May to Mary. From Rome the practice spread to the other Jesuit colleges and thence to nearly every Catholic church of the Latin rite. In Rome by 1813, May devotions were held in as many as twenty churches. From Italy, May devotions soon spread to France. In Belgium, the May devotions, at least as a private devotion, were already known by 1803. The tradition of honoring Mary in a month-long May devotion spread eventually around the Roman Catholic world in the 19th century together with a month-long devotion to Jesus in June and the Rosary in October. / Source Wikipedia . . . #lebanon #livelovebeirut #livelovekesserwan #harissa #ladyoflebanon #ig_lebanon ##lebanonspotlights #libano_brasil #nategolebanon #fromwhereidrone #aerialaesthetics #dronepointofview #whatsuplebanon #lebanonattractions #insta_lebanon #lebanonwanders #lebanontraveler #lebanontimes #lbci #blue #white #green
