| Abstract: | The idea or custom of crowning enjoyed primacy in ancient times and persevered its sway through the Catholic Church, where crowning was not purely limited to a prince or a pope but also included effigies. The Vatican granted the request for the coronation of the titular painting of Our Lady of Grace in a decree issued on July 20, 1949. The crowning took place on September 2 in Zabbar. The two golden crowns were designed by Manuel Buhagiar, and the firm Madiona carried out the works. |
