Crown of Mary

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Crown of Mary is a common figure in heraldry . It appears in heraldry alongside other Marian symbols as such for Mary, the mother of Jesus . The representation of the crown in coats of arms is not uniform. Only the description of the coat of arms can clarify whether the represented crown is a crown of Mary . Gold and silver dominate the heraldic tinging .

Like the Marian M, the Marienkrone is suitable for coats of arms such as those of the Marienhausen community .
