“Queen of Heaven and Earth”

- Virgin Mary: Coronation. Book of Hours France, Savoy or Besançon, ca. 1470 (right side image)
From heaven, Mary continues her maternal care for humanity as a powerful intercessor. She is honored under many titles: Queen of Heaven and Earth, the Immaculate Conception, Our Lady of Sorrows, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Lourdes, or Our lady of Fatima, and many more. As the Mother of Christ the King, she shares in His royal dignity, as a queen of service, obedience, and love. Crowned by grace, Mary’s queenship draws all hearts toward her Son. Her reign is one of mercy, prayer, and maternal care for heaven and earth.

The Coronation of the Virgin with Six Angels by Agnolo Gaddi, Artist, Florentine, c. 1350 – 1396
The Coronation of the Virgin is the final episode in the story of Mary’s life. After her death, she ascended to heaven, body and soul, to be crowned queen by her son. Angels sang and played music in celebration. The subject of the Virgin’s coronation was especially popular in Florence during the last half of the 14th century. Often it appeared at the center of a tripartite altarpiece, flanked by crowded scenes of adoring saints on either side. Very likely, this painting was originally part of such an assemblage.

“Nativity of the Virgin Mary”
“Your birth, O Blessed Virgin Mary, fills the whole world with a sweet consolation and a holy joy, because of you was born our Jesus, our God, who has taken away from us the curse in which we were plunged by the sin of our first parents, and filled us with all kinds of blessings.” ~ St. John Vianney
Chosen by God
Mary is the Mother of Jesus, God made flesh, and therefore truly the Mother of God. She remained a virgin when the Angel Gabriel announced God’s will, conceiving not by human means but through the Holy Spirit. Her simple and complete “yes” (Fiat) to God makes her a clear example of faith and trust, always leading souls to her Son.
“The Annunciation“
“The Nativity of Jesus”
Matthew 1:18-25 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.
“Mary Mother of God”
Our Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus Christ, true God and true man, is rightly honored as the Mother of God. She is the highest of all saints and a perfect model of faith, purity, and obedience to God. She represents true motherhood, loving intercession, and the grace God pours out through humble obedience.

StudioRegina Open Studio: Contemporary Marian Sacred Art
The Open Studio is an invitation to artists who feel called to make Marian art. This space gathers, supports, and presents visual works inspired by love for the Blessed Virgin Mary and the desire to honor her through reverent sacred art.
Marian Apparitions
Throughout history, the Virgin Mary has been said to appear in places marked by suffering, poverty, or deep longing—always quietly, always with purpose. These apparitions are understood as signs of a mother’s enduring care, revealing Mary’s closeness to her children in moments of need. From Guadalupe to Lourdes and Fatima, her presence feels consistent: she calls the faithful back to prayer, repentance, and renewed trust in God. The apparitions of the blessed Virgin Mary can become gentle guides, helping us pray more deeply, live more attentively, and love Christ more fully. They never ask to be the center. Like Mary herself, they simply point the way.
Marian Devotions
Ther Rosary, St. John Paul II’s favorite prayer “St. John Paul II, was deeply devoted to the Virgin Mary (Totus Tuus was his episcopal motto). He encouraged the recitation of the Rosary during the 27 years of his pontificate. In 2002 he published an Apostolic Letter dedicated specifically to the Rosary, Rosarium Virginis Mariae.” Artwork: Our Lady of the Rosary with Sts. Dominic and Catherine of Siena
—Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin too much. You can never love her more than Jesus did. —St. Maximilian Kolbe
Honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus, through prayer, meditation, devotional acts, and the remembrance of her feasts draws us closer to her and opens our hearts to a deeper, more faithful relationship with Jesus. Through Mary’s gentle and loving presence in our lives, we learn how to say yes to God as she did when she said Yes (Fiat!) to be the mother of Jesus…with trust and humility. Our Blessed Mother teaches us to live with hope firmly rooted in faith, always leading us to Jesus.
Marian Dogmas
Through the authority of His Church on earth, God has revealed to us four essential truths about Mary’s identity, otherwise known as “the Marian Dogmas.” To be in full communion with Christ—the Church reminds us— we must believe in each of these dogmas. In other words, they aren’t optional beliefs.
