A look at the world-wide phenomenon of the adoration of the Virgin Mary.

This book is divided into two parts, Devotion and Reflection. In part one, the author invites the reader to dip in and out looking fir a favourite prayer, poem or hymn. There are chapters on Mary's many titles, on the Rosary, on the way Ireland has stayed faithful to this great Marian devotion and helped it spread from the old world to the Americas. In part two the author illustrates how Mary is honoured not only among Catholics but among Orthodox Christians of the East. A wonderful collection and ideal gift for all who share a devotion to Mary.
