Mentioning the hymn "Bring Flowers of the Fairest" reminded me of learning it at primary school in the late 1940s ,then never hearing it again till 1996 when, at a Mass in Barraniskey in Co Wicklow (ancestral homeland), the priest asked us to join in,as it was the first Sunday in May. It became a duet between him and me, as either no one else knew it, or no one else was silly enough to join in, to the great amusement of my (Lutheran) husband.

There has been a great deal of tripe built up around Mary and one of the best retreat days I remember was given by the late Father Kevin Ryan, called "Mary, Plaster Saint or Real Woman?" Really an eye-opener about how hard life would have been for her, and how far out is the plaster statue image we see too often.
