We’ve had both. It can be done in either.

 

[Tarpeian_Rock]

One of each! We have statues both inside and outside in a Mary Garden, and crowned them both.

 

[Casilda]

A procession led us outside to a garden/grotto, where a statue of Mary was crowned.

Inside, just before Mass.

Neither. Our group rents a church each week. The church is an OF only church so all that is done their way. Kind of feels like were are the 15th puppy trying to get some lunch. (Ain’t gonna happen)

Neither. I don’t think we have this at all at my church. I wish we did. One of my fondest childhood memories is the crowning of Mary. I remember bringing flowers from our home garden too to present to Mary.

 

[CyrilSebastian]

At the local church, the May Crowning is held inside.
There is a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary which is crowned with a splendid crown of grand flowers.

Since it was snowing last Sunday, Mother’s Day, our Mary crowning was inside. Usually, our Mary crowning is outside.

Is the May Crowning at your church held inside or outside the church?

At my parents’ parish, inside. But the attendant parade is naturally outside.

So is my parents’ parish, yet traditional devotional practices are very strong, at least among the immigrant communities.
