Liturgical and Seasonal Living in May

May is a month overflowing with meaning — in the Church, in nature, and in the home. In this blog post, I want to offer a well-rounded and deeply intentional approach to liturgical living during this sacred and vibrant season. In it you will see the rich feast days of May, from Marian celebrations to beloved saints, grounding each one in tradition and offering ways to observe them meaningfully with your community.


We also highlight springtime foods that are naturally in season this month — not just for taste, but to connect us to God’s rhythms in creation and the nourishment He provides. You’ll find ideas for Marian-inspired home decor that invite beauty and reverence into your space, anchoring your domestic church in the grace of Our Lady. Plus, we share lovely dresses and clothing choices that reflect both Mary’s virtues and the freshness of spring, making even how we dress a quiet act of devotion.


And let's not forget the fasts and penitential days either — because joy and sacrifice walk hand in hand. And we share liturgical living traditions that help bridge the sacred and the ordinary.


This isn’t just a list of things to do — it’s a holistic invitation to live May with intentionality, rooted in the Church, inspired by the season, and centered on Christ through Mary.
