In ancient times, during the month of May it was customary among Catholics to send an image of the Blessed Virgin in a little box that was passed from house to house. Those who received it were very proud to have it at home.

Wow, having grown up Catholic, I am surprised that I never heard of this tradition. It sounds really neat and inspiring, maybe people of the Catholic faith will start doing this again someday... it would be appreciated by many in that faith, I believe.
