Mother Mary History
The Blessed Virgin Mary is also known in the Roman Catholic Church by the titles Our Lady of Peace, Mother of Peace, Queen of Peace, and Our Lady Queen of Peace. Artwork of her often depicts her with a dove and olive branch, both of which stand for peace.
According to legend, a certain Jean de Joyeuse gave the statue to his new bride Françoise e Voisins in the early 1500s in France. The statue, which came to be known as the "Virgin of Joyeuse," quickly became a prized possession.
Jean's grandson Henri Joyeuse brought the statue to the Capuchin Franciscans in Paris, where it remained for many years when he joined the order about 1588. The statue was given the name Our Lady of Peace since she held an olive branch and the Prince of Peace rested on her arm. The number of people praying to Maria for help increased so rapidly that in 1657 the Capuchin group built a bigger chapel to house them all. On July 9 of that year, the papal nuncio to France blessed and ceremonially enthroned a statue of the Virgin Mary in front of a vast throng that included King Louis XIV. Eventually, Pope Alexander VII would set this day aside for the Capuchin community to honour Our Lady of Peace.
The Capuchins were forced to abandon their monastery in the wake of the 1789 French Revolution. They removed the icon in order to save it from the godless rebels. The statue was retrieved from hiding and given to Peter Coudrin, a priest in Paris, once peace was restored in the country. The Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary and the Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament was founded in 1800 by Coudrin and Henriette. Success for the church was especially high in the Hawaiian Kingdom. Our Lady of Peace was honoured by having the Hawaiian Islands dedicated to her.
El Salvador's patron saint is Our Lady of Peace. St. Michael's Parish Church in San Salvador, El Salvador is home to an ancient statue of the Virgin Mary holding an olive branch. When a volcanic eruption threatened the city in September 1787, locals credited the monument for protecting them. During the independence war, the Virgin Mary was also used as a symbol of peace amongst opposing groups in the country. In the presence of the country's president, the statue was formally crowned in the month of November 1921.
On July 9, 1906, the Archbishop of Paris, in the name of Pope Pius X, formally crowned the original statue of Our Lady of Peace in France. After that, July 9 became known as Our Lady of Peace Day for the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary Congregation. Nonetheless, some American churches and Hawaii celebrate on January 24. To the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Pope Benedict XV added Our Lady of Peace during the turbulent years of World War I.
