“The queen symbol was attributed to Mary because she is a perfect follower of Christ, who is the absolute ' crown ' of creation. As the Order of Crowning states:

She is the perfect follower of Christ. The maid of Nazareth consented to God ' s plan; she journeyed on the pilgrimage of faith; she listened to God ' s word and kept it in her heart; she remained steadfastly in close union with her Son, all the way to the foot of the cross; she persevered in prayer with the Church. Thus in an eminent way she won the "crown of righteousness, " [See 2 Timothy 4:8] the "crown of life," [See James 1:12; Revelation 2:10] the "crown of glory" [See 1 Peter 5:4] that is promised to those who follow Christ.”
