💨 Abstract

Pope Leo XIV honored the Virgin Mary during his first public blessing, reflecting the central role of Marian veneration in Catholicism. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is invoked through various titles and feast days, with May dedicated to her celebrations. The titles of Mary fall into three categories: those related to Christian dogma, apparitions, and the desires of the faithful. Mary’s image varies widely, but she is often depicted with Jesus, symbolizing her role as an intercessor.
