The crown of the Immaculate Conception reminds us that Mary Immaculate, without sin or stain, is Queen of Heaven and Earth. The cross on the crown means that the Virgin Mary is only Queen because of Jesus Christ, because of his death on the cross and his resurrection. The mantle of the Immaculate Conception is rich in meaning. The color blue symbolizes heaven. The gold embroidery symbolizes royalty and reminds us that Our Lady is Queen of Heaven and Earth. The hands of Our Lady of the Conception joined at the level of her heart symbolize prayer. In all of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary, she asks for prayer. While she lived in this world, she herself was a woman of prayer. Also at the feet of the image of Our Lady of the Conception, we see the cloud and angels. These two symbols reveal that the Virgin Mary is in heaven, in the glory of God, together with the angels, of whom she is Queen and that from there, together with her son, she intercedes for us. It means that Mary, being the 'Immaculate Conception', conceived without sin, and having given birth to Jesus Christ, she crushes the head of the serpent, as it is written in the book of Genesis.
