The long-standing tradition of dedicating the month of May to the Virgin Mary began in the 13th century, though it became widely popular in the 1700s, particularly through the influence of the Jesuits. This month-long devotion's origins and historical development emphasized a christian custom that honors her as the Mother of God and Mother of the Church and highlights her role in salvation history and welcomes the spring season as a symbol of new life. May is considered the peak of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, with flowers and greenery representing new life, which is linked to Mary bringing Jesus into the world, symbolizing her queenship and purity.
