The Coronation of the Virgin
Following the death of the Blessed Virgin Mary, she ascends into heaven and is seated on a throne. Often she is depicted with a crown on her head, representing her as Queen of Heaven. (Kremer, 2025) The Office of Compline, for 9 p.m., is the eighth of the eight “Hours of the Virgin” (or Offices). Compline is for The Coronation of the Virgin as Queen of Heaven. (Thorpe, 1976)
