It has spread through most of the Latin Church now. Because the North American holiday of Mother’s Day falls in May, Catholics take this time to recall and try to emulate Mary’s role as mother. Therefore devotion to Mary in the month of May focuses both on Mary as a role model for Christian mothers, and Mary’s ever lasting chastity and purity, and her fidelity to God’s will.
