In the center, the small point upwards corresponds to the symmetrical point downwards; we can also read an A, the second letter of Mary: for it was customary in antiquity to make abbreviations with the first two letters of the name (see, for example, the &#8220;khi-rho&#8221;, XP, for Christ).   In fact, it&#8217;s very common in Christian art to see an intertwined A and M, which are also the initials of the Ave Maria (<strong><em>&#8220;Hail Mary<\/em><\/strong> in Latin).  In Latin, O.M.V. stands for <strong>&#8220;Oblates of the Virgin Mary&#8221;.<\/strong> The motto &#8221;&nbsp;<b>Mariam cogita, Mariam invoca<\/b> &#8220;.&nbsp;<b>Pense \u00e0 Marie, invoque Marie<\/b> &#8221; comes from Saint Bernard (Sup.

This crown has been attributed to the Virgin Mary since time immemorial, and appears on the medal that Mary herself asked Saint Catherine Labour\u00e9 for in 1830, during the apparitions in the Rue du
