Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary - August 22

The feast of the Queenship of the Virgin Mary was instituted by Pope Pius XII in 1955 on May 31, as the conclusion to the Marian month of May.  With the reform of the liturgical calendar it was moved to a few days after the Assumption on August 15th.
